Grove House

Grove House after bombing This is a photo of Grove House taken at the end of WW2 after it had been bombed.

On the 1939 Register there are two families living there.  Lawrence WATSON, the Town Clerk and his family with 3 blacked out entries and in a second apartment there are Harold NORMAN, the Parks Superintendent and his wife with a servant and another blacked out entry - which might be someone living in another flat.

Have you found your mother on the 1939 register? If your mother was over voting age she might appear on the electoral roll for the early 1940s.  There are some available in Weston-super-Mare Library.

Thanks yet again - I believe that Susannah Evans died in a home in Axbridge. James Noble was her father so she may have been buried with him. Thanks for the extra info on William - I believe he owned Sunnyside Stores at 73 Clevedon Rd - now a betting shop.

William's wife is not buried in Milton Road Cemetery. Out of interest the burial register records that William's place of death was Wadham Street, WsM and that he was a grocer.


Many Thanks

Many thanks again Graham - your email attachment is much appreciated. Are you able to tell if William's wife Susannah Waddell Evans is buried with him - I believe she died September 1982.

Many thanks Graham for your information. Is there an information source I can access to find this plot number?
