In the course of my research into my husband's family, I have found that in 1881 his great, great uncle was at "The College", Beach Road at the time of the 1881 census. He was 15 at the time, though there were some boys as young as 6 on the return
Does anyone know anything about this school?
This is a general query - the above gentleman resided at Banwell Castle. I am looking into the area and found that he died at Banwell Castle, but can't find out how. Is there any way to find out his cause of death without sending for the certificate?
I am trying to find Betty Woodhouse's family. She marries John Plenty in March 1780 in Wrington and I think she may have been born around 1757. I have searched the parishes around Wrington and can find no trace of any "Woodhouses" or possibly spelt "Woodhayse". If anyone has any suggestions on where to look next or has come across the family I would be very pleased to hear from them
S H Timpson published by Brian & Pam Airey on Sun, 05/01/2014 - 16:32
Mr Jelf has written asking about S H Timpson who ran a shop in Milton Rd c1912-1917 and is also in possession of a publication called 'A fleet history of Timpson's', where it states "that in 1912, it is reported that S.H.Timpson operated a service along the sea front at Weston-super-Mare with a Rynield charabanc." Does anyone know of such a vehicle/coach operation? There appears to be no mention in Wsm Library files. The family appears to have returned to London area by 1919
I am trying to find some further details on my Great Great Grandfather and Mother George and Eliza Urch.
George was born abt 1834 in Somerset and Eliza abt 1832 in Middlesex. They married in 1854 in Axbridge, Somerset. Their son Henry was born in 1855 in Weston Super Mare. They had 5 children but only Henry was born in WSM. They came to Australia in 1857 when Henry was 2.
George appears in an 1841 census but very difficult to read, he has a brother Edward and a sister Sarah and his Father is Edward aged 40 who is a Carpenter.
Hoping anyone can help with some detail, it would be much appreciated.
Of this Parish (OTP) was often used in Parish register records to identify a persons place of residence. Does anyone know if a prescribed period of time was necessary to become recognised as OTP if you were not born there?
