You have been kind enough to help me in the past and I wondered if you could do it again please. I have been researching my grandparents George and Gladys Bryant who lived in 5 East End Terrace Nailsea in 1939. George Bryant was born in about 1880 and died in 1945 in Weston Super Mare. In 1928, he married Gladys may Hooper.
I have brought a marriage certificate and I have further detail on George, including he was a widower and around 24 years older than Gladys when he married. Further his father was George Bryant had passed away before his son married, however other than that I am stuck again.
I have tried ancestry searches and I was going to order a birth certificate however I don't know George's mothers name or where he was born.
My ancestors lived at 103 Old Church Road for many years up to 1911 and beyond. Can anyone tell me the present location of this address please. When did the house re-numbering take place in Old Church road?
I'm interested in any information regarding the Brain and Veal families who once lived in WSM. In 1871 they were living in Orchard Street. Albert Brain had an umbrella shop in Orchard Street and his wife Emma (nee Veal) was a dressmaker. William Veal lived at 4 Meadow Street in 1871 and was a Brass Finisher. The Veal family also lived in Palmer Street at one time.
I'm a descendant of Robert Graham who was a ship owner/master out of Newcastle. He was killed 11th November 1844 when, heading for Bristol from Nantes in France in the ship 'Sarah' during a bitter storm, he fell from the foresail mast and crashed to the deck. The storm was so bad it took two days to make port. Robert Graham was buried shortly after in Burnham on Sea. I believe his gravestone, being exposed to the sea for such a long time, is unreadable.
If anyone can help me trace his burial records or any other information I would be very appreciative.

Rex asks:
"Has anyone come across Charles Henry Webb POPE (b.1887) after April 1913 when he is described, on my father's birth certificate, as a GWR porter?
I know his father was the William POPE (married to Louisa Jane SAY) who died in 1916. [buried in Weston Cemetery] Though originally a farmer, he had been the postmaster at Uphill Post Office until suspended in 1914 as a result of a telegram betting scam involving, amongst others, Charles Henry's father-in-law Sidney SHIRLEY and William's youngest daughter. Sidney was jailed for six months for his part in it.
I know that two sisters [of Charles] went to Canada and that Charles's widowed mother, remaining sisters, brother and oldest son, also Charles Henry, followed in 1919. They were all established in Toronto by 1921. I also know that his wife, Ethel, had a daughter by an unknown father in June 1916. Ethel, along with the three younger POPE children, moved to Nunhead in South East London in 1917. Ethel died of broncho-pneumonia in 1918".
If any of you know what happened to Charles Henry Webb POPE - Rex would be delighted to hear from you.
Hi. I am having a bit of a problem finding my John POPE as I only know where he was married. I need to find out his birth date and place and his parents.
I do know that he married on Oct 1, 1762 in St Andrew Church, Backwell, England to Elizabeth Potter. Also if you see Elizabeth's father's name, that would also be very much appreciated.
