Still trying to find any additional information on Reverend Thomas Gilpin Johnson, his wife Ellen and their children Helen Howard Johnson, Thomas Norman Howard Johnson and Dorothy Millicent Howard Johnson.
Since my last contact I have come across the enlistment papers of Thomas jnr in June 1913. Believe he was still living with his parents and gives their address as 16 Churchill road Weston-super-Mare.
I am a little confused as the papers say he enlisted into the Grenadier Guard in June 1913 and then was discharged on 25 August 1913 with payment of £10.
When he was killed in action in 1917 Flanders he was in the 9th Devonshire Regiment
I am trying to confirm the parents of Frank Comer Durston born 19/01/1882 at Brent Knoll, Somerset.
I believe his Mother was Ann Durston nee Hutson.
I'm also looking for the Marriage of Fanny Comer to ? Durston.
Thanks,
Grant Board.
"My grandfather Kenneth Cyril BIGGS lived in Weston-Super-Mare. Born 1904 and migrated to Australia in 1910 with his mother Amelia BIGGS and father Edward William BIGGS with his 10 brothers and sisters. My grandfather would go to a biscuit factory close by to take the biscuits that used to be tossed out, the broken ones. He and a friend used to wag school to go to this factory. I am researching the name of that factory and where it was in Weston super mare and what is there in its place now."
The BIGGS family was living in Wooller Road at the time of the 1901 census. Can anyone suggest where this Biscuit Factory might have been? Perhaps it was a Bakery which specialised in cakes and biscuits rather than bread - I will pass on any suggestions.
