I live in Yeovil now, so was not at the talk and don't know who was mentioned, but I have a photograph of my uncle, Frederick George Bennett, which was taken by J E Ballantyne, Regent Street, Weston-super-Mare, I would think about 1910, if this fills in any gaps. My uncle was killed in 1910 following a kick to the head by a horse.  He was 20 and was to have been married in a few days. This is a studio portrait and the print number is 6316.

Thank you Carol - I have forwarded this to Phil Nicholls.  I see from our transcriptions that he was buried at Worle on Christmas Eve - what a  sad Christmas for that family.  You can make contact with Phil Nicholls directly by using this email address
