Please can anyone identify these names on the 1841 Census HO107, Piece 968, Folio 48, Page 4

I believe the last entry is Frederick MARTILL, who is the Weston Worthy I am currently researching, but who is the Independent woman who appears to be employing him as a servant?   Thank you!

I am researching Hamilton Villa in South Road from the period 1860-1900. My great grandfather’s brother was living there at the time of his death in 1890, so I would like a street directory screen shot for my family history records, and any old photos of the houses opposite Prince Consort Gardens, which was still South Road back in those days.

Can I access census records just by using Hamilton Villa as a link, as I would like to know who also lived there between those years?

many thanks

Does anyone know the birth dates of the following?:

James Curry baptised 3rd Nov 1816 in Hutton and died 16 Mar 1899 in Banwell

Sarah Badman (wife of James) baptised 20 Dec 1818 in Banwell and died 12 Dec 1845 in Worle  

Thanks

As you will have seen I have been unable to decide which man called John HARRIS was the Weston Worthy.  I have two sets of dates for him 1775-1869 and 1775-1855.  He could have been the first landlord of the Halfway House (on the site of the Sanatorium) - He could have been involved with early transport of goods from Weston to Bristol.  What did he do to make him a Worthy? Do any of you have a John HARRIS on your tree?  There are many about at that time and there are multiple marriages with a John HARRIS as groom.  Any suggestions are welcome - at least I may be able to discard some of them as possibilities with a little more information. Thank you.

An author in the Netherlands is researching for an article or, possibly, a book on the lives of 18 British men who died there in Vorden, on May 4th, during WWII.

One of these men is Raymond Merrick BUSSELL - whose brother, Peter Giles BUSSELL, died in WsM in 1995.  If you are descended from this BUSSELL family then please get in touch with the author Robert Ellenkamp on robertellenkamp@gmail.com

I have been researching W.H.T Skinner (c1850-1925) who bred and judged horses and appears to have won prizes at the Weston Horse/Agricultural? show. I am looking for information about this show, there are lists of winners in newspapers (Brit Newspaper archives) but I can find no details about the show, obviously a big event, when did it start, where was it held etc.
