note it is Rowland with a W

Born 5 Dec 1857 Sidmouth, Devon, England
Died 27 Nov 1948 Seattle, King, Washington, USA

[I have his birth certificate - US Naturalization Papers state D0B as 5 Dec 1859 - but UK and US Census ages and Death Record agree with 1857 - curiously he is not named on his birth registration]
