EMILY ELIZA MOORE
published by on Sun, 20/01/2013 - 9:45

I am trying to discover where my Great Aunt Emily was buried.  She died on 21st February 1963 at Crossways, 8 St Josephs Road which I should think was a nursing home.  I would appreciate any help with this.

I believe Emily had been the Manageress at The Thatched Cottage cafe on the sea front at Weston which might have been owned by her brother-in-law Reginald Puddy.  Does anyone have any information on this, or any photos?

How great to have a query about someone who actually appears on my family tree! Reginald PUDDY was related to me (by marriage) twice.  A brother married my aunt and a daughter married my husband's cousin. In 1961 we celebrated our engagement at the Thatched Cottage which at that time was run by my husband's cousin.

Emily MOORE was not buried in Weston Cemetery but Reginald PUDDY & his wife were buried at Bleadon so it might be worth looking there. However in 1962 another member of the family who died in Weston was cremated at Arnos Vale Crematorium in Bristol.

It is possible that there might be an announcement in the local papers which are in Weston Library - as you have the actual date of death it should be a fairly quick search and the next time we are in the Library (weather permitting!) perhaps one of the volunteers will take a look for you.

I will contact you directly so that we can share family information but I'm sure that we have members with photographs of the Thatched Cottage who will also be able to help.

Good Luck with your research
