CommentsDouglas Albert Dugdale 1867-1947
published by - 9 years 1 months 16 days ago. | | | I'm still hoping to find the cemetery and a headstone, for my grandfather. I've exhausted all avenues that I've found. Ancestry, Find a Grave,Billions of Graves. Written to the churches. No one seems to know where he is. PLEASE HELP. I have all his certificates for BMD and census records. Just don't know where he's buried. | |
Emblen CLEMENTS
published by Pat Hase - 9 years 1 months 16 days ago. | | Now that is interesting, because there is a marriage in Wedmore in 1691 - see Wedmore Genealogy Pages of an Embin HANDCOKE[sic] - That is before the death of Walter HANCOCK junior. I'm also in dodgy territory here - I believe that divorce at that time would have required a legal imput - bigamy would have been easier!!
Where does the family story come from?

published by - 9 years 1 months 17 days ago. | | | Thank you Pat,
I have never been able to find a death for her under the name of Emblen Hancock. I am wondering if she may have married again. The story within the family that they got divorced, don't know if this is true or not. I don't know what the procedure was for a divorce back in the late 1600 or early 1700's.
So thank you again.

Emblen CLEMENTS
published by Pat Hase - 9 years 1 months 17 days ago. | | You have done very well to get back as far as you have. The marriage appears in our transcriptions for Mark but interestingly there is also a marriage on Familysearch for the same date and people what is presumably an error because it states the marriage was at Maperton in Somerset - another example of the need to check with the original record.
Emblen and its variants is not uncommon as a forename in the West of England especially Cornwall so you might find her birth there. I suppose it is possible that she was a widow when she married Walter so her name might not have been CLEMENTS when she was born. Have you found her death?

EMBLEN CLEMENTS
published by - 9 years 1 months 18 days ago. | | | Hello,
Emblen Clements born C1660 (not sure where she was born). But what I know about this Emblen that she married an ancestor of mine. Walter Hancock (Jnr) was born 1658 and he married Emblen on 18 June 1684 at St. Mark's Church, Mark, Somerset.
Hope you can give me birth, baptism and any siblings, also who were her parents.
Thank you

published by - 9 years 1 months 21 days ago. | | | Many thanks for your quick response. I do have Sharon Poole's excellent book, "The Grand Pier Weston-Super-Mare". The photo of the Grand Pier Orchestra on page 32 is actually the front cover of the sheet music for Grand Pier Song. The music stands shown in the photograph were made of ply-wood and collapsible. They fell into my posseassion following Percy's funeral at Dalnottar Crematorium in September 1984. I was invited by Percy's son to take away some mementos. When I came across the sheet music mentioned above, and commented on the music stands seen in the photo, Percy's son said I could help myself to them - they were awaiting collection by the local council cleansing department. The stands became a feature of my own band's stage set-up until August 2008. When I find out how to upload files to this site, I'll send some photos of the music stands, which I believe are in safe storage awaiting pick-up by myself. | |
