CommentsMaternity Provision in Weston in 1942
published by Pat Hase - 6 years 6 months 18 days ago. | | When you asked this before there were some suggestions made - see here for older information but you didn't say then whether you had a copy of the birth certificate which might give the address of the place of birth. I think it unlikely that Yatton Hall or Sand Park near Taunton would have been the hospital in question as they were not designated as General Hospitals.
The Maternity homes mentioned in the previous correspondence all seem possibilities. Ashcombe House Maternity Hospital in Weston which I believe opened as a Maternity Hospital in 1946 is a little late, but I'm not sure whether the building which had been used as a Red Cross Hospital during WW1 was still in use as a hospital in 1942. Does anyone know what was happening at Ashcombe House before 1946?

Harriet jarvis of East Brent
published by - 6 years 6 months 18 days ago. | | | Hi Elizabeth
I was unable to find the death date for Harriet but I have put a request on a site I belong to asking if anyone is planning to go to Somerset record office & if so will they do a look up of Harriet's burial for me.
I started the look up by going to free bmd to get all the details which you would already have.
then just for a laugh looked at Ancestry members trees & surprisingly one on there seems very well researched - the Puddy Tree South & East Brent/Brent Knoll but I did a bit of checking up on it.
1851 ceusus South Brent
George W. Jervis H M 48 Farmer South Brent
Harriet " W M 48 Weare
William " S U 22 South Brent
Henry " S U 17 " "
Edwin " S 14 " "
Charles " S 12 " "
Edmund " S 10 " "
Ann " D 8 scholar " "
Joanna " mother M 70 Mark
I then looked at the 1881 census to double check that George would be a widdower by this time & sure enough he was
1881 census South Brent
George W Jarvis H Wr 78 Farmer 48 acres South Brent
Edmond " S U 40 Farmer 31 acres " "
Emily " grandaur U 16 " "
Fanny Stitch dairy woman U 25 DOM serv Lympsham
John Cook serv U 16 Ag serv South Brent.
I hope that some of this may be of help & if I were you Id have a look at th public members tree I refer'd you to as that may help. I also hope that Im able to send you the burial date for Harriet if I get a reply to the request I made for a look up.
With all my very best wishes

published by - 6 years 6 months 18 days ago. | | | This relates to another post from May 2016 but may be linked. Around 1942 my mother who would have been 15 or 16 entered a rescue home at Weston-Super-Mare and was then transferred to a P.A.C. hospital for her confinement. I have hit a brick wall on this but could Yatton Hall/Sandhill Park be where she had been. | |
Harriet Jarvis
published by Les Martels - 6 years 6 months 21 days ago. | | Hi Phil,
That sounds as though it might be useful to me but I have not been able to find anything new since posting my original enquiry.
How can I get in touch with Roy Smith to find out what you have passed on to him.
I am intrigued to know what you have found. Maybe you could inform me directly.
Best wishes,
Elizabeth
