Pauline Have sent you an invitation to a group which may have the resources you seek.

From census ages I estimate her > birth about 1823. > > She married John BARNETT in Cheltenham 12 July 1846 (ages of both bride and > groom are recorded only 'of full age' ), died on 14 Jan 1905 age 81 and is > buried in Cheltenham Cemetery > > On the marriage cert her father is given as John WILLIAMS, quarryman, and > his occupation seems consistent with the Combe Down locality. > > I know there is a church at Combe Down but was this built later than abt > 1823 because I cannot find Combe Down listed in the Hugh Wallis Somerset > pages for IGI.
