If your ancestors lived in Bedminster during the last 150 years, they may have used the services of the local funeral business set up Bedminster Parade in 1860 by Edwin BURNELL. Later the firm became E. BURNELL & Son and it is now BURNELL TOVEY LTD.

Thank you so much for that link Josephine as I am sure that my maternal ancestors would have used their services, having lived in Bedmister, off Parson Street & Bedminster Road. In fact, the same area where I spent the first 7 years of my life!
