Hi Peter,

I can't remember where I found this, perhaps FreeReg, but it would appear to be a burial record for Fanny Tucker-Clapp:

Regards, Jacky

Hello- no index for photo . Did not know name of no 19 in photo- but agree it does look like Bailey.

26) John James EDWARDS?

(The one on the left)

No 19 - James BAILEY

If there was ever any doubt about identifying the vicar - here is is again.

Here is a whole load of names of those mentioned to have been involved in the Hewish & Puxton Harvest Home in the 5-6 years around 1927. I have tried to work out who they are - but how many of them are in the 1927 photo I would not like to hazard a guess.

I do see it Kate - my only concern is that  I think is that Gilbert EH looks a lot older than these two than the 2 and 4 years older than he should be! But it does look so much like him - it must be him surely!

On another tack a JJ Edwards that was treasurer in 1923 could be John James Edwards who was a farmer in Kewstoke. He was married to Ethel May OSMOND - is she one of yours? 

This is the only other photo I have which we presume is Harry NICHOLS. He was only 5 ft 4 according to his army records we think that it is him. You can see my problem though!
