Yes, that seems to be Bertram Osmond in the 1931 photograph (second from the right). Thanks to Rob's investigation we now have a whole slew of photographs of him.

I'm thinking that the man to Bertram's right could be John James Edwards?

Hi David.

Very interested in your post as I have a long line of HOCKEY ancestors from Somerset. My most recent HOCKEY ancestor was Mary Mari HOCKEY who married William ERASMUS in Llanhilleth, Monmouthshire in 1874. They were my Great Grandparents.

I can trace my HOCKEY line back to Roger HOCKEY who married Alice DAMPYER in Yeovilton in 1606. Happy to provide more details.

What is your connection to the John HOCKEY in the death certificate and what else do you know about him? I don't have him in my tree.

I have taken a DNA test with Ancestry and am also on Gedmatch. I have large numbers of DNA matches with people who have HOCKEY ancestors. I have managed to verify my relationship to many of them, but there are many more who are still a mystery.

Hi uphill

That was his father also called Edmund - you did have me questioning myself though (which is good) - Edmund Sr was living with Harry in the 1921 census so is definitely him - the age given on the burial is 82 which is too old for brother Edmund.

Cheers

Hi - brain fog - its the brother not the father - put it down to the sun !

Hi Rob - again - read this post and remembered that in Harrys newspaper obit - it said he was buried at Puxton with his parents - so checked Puxton burial records and Edmund Nichols was buried in the church 25/11/1922 - any chance u can find npaper  obit for him ? Sorry dont  want to appear "smart alec" with answer - whatever he was up to - obviously came back to family ?

I think it reads - Uncertain  and then Icterus - which is a form of jaundice.  Under that is olive green perhaps that described the colour of his skin?
