Hi Pat,

Kathleen Gladys Kopp (née Caple) was living at Woodfield Cottage, No. 2, Copse Road, Clevedon, from 1939 to (at least) 1945. As you are likely aware, this comes from the 1939 Census and this newspaper report: Mystery of Bath Woman's Death.

In that report, Kathleen states she has a second home in London (where she spends most of the time): From the London electoral registers this appears to be 14 Grange Hill, Edgware. She and her husband (Bernard Stephen Kopp) do not appear at that address after 1950. So this does leave open that they could be at Yatton from 1950 to 1958 (her death at 47 Old Church Road, Clevedon). I was going to suggest the telephone directories but they never seem to appear in any of them (you would have thought it would be essential for Bernard's job!).

How sure are they that she lived at Yatton from the 1950s?

Regards,
Richard

You can find it on Milton Road Cemetery History | Weston-super-Mare Town Council (wsm-tc.gov.uk)

there are also short items about particular residents who were buried there later on the same page.

I have sent this to Tim but thought other members might be interested and even perhaps recognise someone on it. 

On the reverse is written

"The Weston-super-Mare Yeomanry left for active service against Germany August 1914"
