Congratulations and thanks to those who spotted my deliberate error (wish it was!) Our next Free Library session will of course be on February 15th - you will not have to wait until Sept!  I have corrected the Update but it just show how it pays to check the original!

I cannot thank Graham enough for his help - The information he provided, along with selected plot maps, has allowed me locate the graves and we paid our respects at the cemetery this morning. Thank you. Richard

Thank you very much Graham for your reply and for your offer of associated maps. I will send you an email with the details. I will let you know how I get on.

Thanks again - really appreciated,

Richard

Let me know which plots you are interested in and I will send you the associated maps.

The 1939 Register records him as Percy C. BLOOM (otherwise known as Christmas Percy BLOOM), as an unmarried arable farmer at Hall Farm, Happisburgh.

A photograph of her grave is also on Findagrave. Born in Cardiff to Eugene Constant Bregeon (he was born in France) and Eliza Diana Batten. Early 20th Century newspapers report that she was an accomplished violinist in the Weston-super-Mare Parish Church Band of Hope. The 1939 Register states she was living at a flat in Ashcombe Lodge on Milton Road, of independent means, and a birth date of 7 December 1888. Page 6 of the Western Daily Press, Friday, February 9, 1940, reports that she was elected to the Parochial Church Council (PCC) for the Parish of St. John. You may be able to find some minutes of the PCC at the Somerset Heritage Centre that may give you some additional insights into her life. Regards, Richard.
