CommentsAHA!!!!
published by - 7 years 10 months 23 days ago. | | | WOW, thanks so much!
Now, this is a real lead as 1924 falls slap bang within the date range covered by the photo albums so pretty much confirms the surname I think - Wonderful! - The son is in the photos as well.
'Win' looks the same age as Norah in the photos and interestingly the norah mentioned in the previous comment has the same birth year! - i wonder of maybe a cousin or adopted living as a sister? - I am sure this will come out with some further research.
I think I will pay a visit to weston Cemetery and pay my respects.
I am going to upload all the pictures to my Flickr photostream over the coming weeks so I will share links and info here as i get to it.
Thanks SO MUCH for this info... really great.

Thanks - Very interesting!
published by - 7 years 10 months 23 days ago. | | | I will definitely look into this 'Norah'! - It could be that she took on the ownership of the house from her parents after she married. The birth date for her looks a little early as I would have estimated that she was about '18' in 1924, but pretty close so worth further investigation. Thanks very much for the info! | |
Winora, 1 Atlantic Road, South
published by Pat Hase - 7 years 10 months 23 days ago. | | If you search the Somerset Heritage Centre Catalogue for Winora you will find that in 1924 a R.F. MERRICK had applied for planning permission to build a garage at that address.
Robert Frank MERRICK (1952) and his wife Charlotte (1929) are both buried in Weston Cemetery as is their daughter Winifred who was born in 1899 and died in 1981. They also had a son called Bernard but I can find no trace of a daughter, Norah. Perhaps she was a cousin or other relation.

Winora
published by - 7 years 10 months 24 days ago. | | Hi Gareth
i have just checked 1939 register & at that time the household consisted of:-
Norman A Marsden Brantry Manager Life Insce
Norah J Marsden (Isabel) housewife
Pamela A Marsden single, presume daughter, later becomes Pamela Wilkins.
dob Norman :30 Apr 1896
Norah 28 Sep 1899
Pamela 21 Jun 1927
from this should be able to follow up marriages & find Norah's maiden name & that will give you Wins name. Also you should find them on 1911 census.
In 1939 they were living at The White House, 1,Atlantic Road .South & there appears to be 5 other children, but records are closed.
