Thank you for your reply Charani. Every country does things a little different so I am grateful for you putting me in the picture. We will just try and catch someone at home to find out just what is happening. It was very sudden and totaling unexpected so everyone is a little shell shocked. Once again thank you for your input Lawrence

The Hanover royal house was united with the British house when "German George" ascended the British throne. The first King of Hanover was the British George III (AKA the Prince Regent, before he became king) (1738-1820). He assumed the title of King of Hanover on 12 August 1814 following negotiations at the Congress of Vienna (after Waterloo). Hanover remained united to the British Crown until 1837 when King William IV died and Queen Victoria succeeded to the British throne. As women were barred from the Hanoverian succession King William IV was succeeded in that country by his brother Ernst August, Duke of Cumberland.

My condolences to you. Death notices are not obligatory, so there may not be anything unless a member of your family paid for such a notice or your brother was a prominent local person, even then the date of the funeral may not be given. Normally it would be a week after the death. -- Charani (UK) OPC for Walton, SOM http://wsom-opc.org.uk

Hi I'm new to this procedure, but will try to be a precise and concise as I can. I'm researching Morse, March, Shaw & Tyson families in England, looking for a *Henry Morse* in Somerset in the *1841 Census*. He is baptised Wiveliscombe 18.06.1809 Married Bristol, Mary-le-port; 7 Sep 1835 Henry Morse & Elizabeth Biss botp Banns. He appears in the 1851 Census in Axbridge: [Census HO107, 1937,149, 5, 221096] Henry Snr, Head, M, 40, Tiler & Plasterer, Somerset, Wiveliscombe. Elizabeth,Wife,M, 34, Somerset, Axbridge. Henry, Son, U,14,Somerset, Axbridge. Matilda Ann, Daughter, U, 7, Scholar, Somerset, Axbridge. Alfred Tom, Son, U, 4, Scholar, Somerset, Axbridge. There is another Henry Morse in 1841 Census in Axbridge, but it is not the correct Henry Morse that is my family. Would be grateful for any help or suggestions as where to locate him and family. He appears to disappear after the 1851 Census. Thank you for any help from Perth in Western Australia. Nigel Tyson

Many thanks to all those who replied to my query. I googled the name I am researching and the article came up I thought this was a real place and go so excited as a family I am having difficulty tracing was mentioned in the article..... ooohhh how many dead ends I have accrued. Nevertheless, your answers have helped me from spending any more time on this angle. Thanks Michelle

HI All I came across the article below about HAYBRIDGE HALL. I have no idea whereabouts this place is located. I googled for this and am now more counfused than before. Could someone please tell me whereabouts in the UK this is? And what is used as today? Many thanks Michelle Essers Israel Haybridge Hall was constructed at the end of the 15th Century and was originally called Hawken Hall after the first family who owned it. Jack Hawken was a local businessman who had become wealthy thanks to success with wool exports. The house has changed very little in the last 500 years with the exception of the Dawson Conservatory which can be found behind the ticket office. This was added in 1941 when the British Army was using Haybridge Hall as a headquarters for the 8th Army. Churchill is said to have spent two nights at Haybridge in the main guest bedroom in the build up to the Normandy Landings in June 1944. The Hawken family only managed to hold onto this fine property for around a decade before they had to sell up and the name Haybridge was used by the aristocrats who bought it. The Yardley family were not from this area, but from the north of England. They owned Haybridge for some 200 years and turned the surrounding area into productive farmland where various crops, from wheat to potatoes, were grown. The Yardley family left Haybridge in 1722 and the property was left empty for some sixty years or so, falling, in the meantime, into quite a state of disrepair. It was during this period of neglect that the small church built on the grounds of the house in the early 16th Century, crumbled into ruins. Little is known about this church although one drawing of it survives. A local artist, Timothy Warsden, sketched the church in 1728, a mere six years after the Yardley family moved out. Haybridge Hall's destiny seemed to have been that of long-term neglect and eventual destruction but it was bought in 1784 and three years and a considerable amount of money was spennt renovating the mansion. By now, the amount of land belonging to the property had been considerably reduced and consisted of the few acres you see today. English Heritage undertook an extensive renovation operation in the 1970's, costing over ten million dollars. The aim of this work was to return Haybridge Hall to something of its glory days when it was owned by the Yardley family for two centuries. Specialist builders and craftsmen from all over the world were employed in an attempt to reconstruct the best possible example of a 17th Century country house.
