Peter has told you about the 1939 Register entry for Thomas CARTER.  It was his sister he was living with.  He died as you said in 1952 and she died in 1955 - They were both buried in Weston Cemetery but there are no memorials on their graves.  There is a CD available from our Society or through Parish Chest which has recently been upgraded to work now on all PCs and contains information from the Burial Registers and the Memorial Inscriptions for all the 30,000+ burials in this cemetery since 1856.  

I'm not sure how much you already know about him but it does seem that his wife Martha CARTER and their married daughter Martha Bessie I'ANSON both died (separately) in 1927 - see FreeBMD.   What is your connection?

You can see 43 St Paul's Road on Google Street View - so at least you can see the type of house he lived in.

Thank you, Bill, for this information.  Do you happen to know whether No.10 was a detached property or part of a block in Beach Road that was re-developed at this time?

My fatherin-law is a descendant of Samuel Palmer (b.1782 Bleadon, d.1863 Lympsham) and Jane Gilling (b.1782 Bridgwater, d.1857 Lympsham). Through genetic testing I have found a lady in America who is also descended from this couple. There are several other people who also match on the same triangulated segment of the same chromosome. This means they must either share descent from Samuel and Jane or from one of their not-so-distant ancestors. Among the people who have tested and match is a THAYER. I could contact this person if anyone feels it could be useful.

sorry, I should have said sister. By the way my name is Peter de Dulin, vice chair

The info came from the 1939 register

I've found Thomas Carter at 22 Severn Avenue in 1939, as a widower, and living with Mary A Carter. He is classed as a widower, and she is single

Severn Avenue is just round the corner from St Pauls Road

He is a retired college porter, and she is a boarding house proprietor 

Perhaps she is his sister in law.
