Hi Carole, Wilfrid Edwin WATKIN lived at Silverton, 29 Brean Down Avenue in Weston-super-Mare, a house which is still in existence. There is a grave in Weston-super-Mare Cemetery with the following inscription. "Of your charity pray for the soul of Margaret, beloved wife of Wilfred Edwin WATKIN, F.R.C.S. of Weston-super-Mare, who died July 18th 1916 ------ (remainder illegible)." In the Burial Register of the Cemetery it gives her burial as 24th July 1916 in Grave Tu 1869, aged 59 The Plot Tu denotes that the ground was unconsecrated which means that she was most probably non-conformist I realise that this isn't the Margaret you asked about but there doesn't appear to be another Margaret WATKIN in the cemetery Freebmd shows a possible marriage for Ethel in 1909 - copies of the local parish registers are in the local library Marriages Sep 1909 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ BROWNE Frank Charles Axbridge <javascript:golink("/cgi/districts.pl?r=120962562&d=bmd_1208863479")> 5c 987 <javascript:gopage(1909,3,2,'5c','987',0)> <javascript:golink("/cgi/information.pl?r=120962562&d=bmd_1208863479")> WATKIN Ethel Axbridge <javascript:golink("/cgi/districts.pl?r=121083818&d=bmd_1208863479")> 5c 987 <javascript:gopage(1909,3,2,'5c','987',0)> The Weston-super-Mare Family History would be delighted to meet you when you visit next year and can help with local records. Let me know when you are coming and perhaps we can arrange something. Good Luck Pat Hase www.wsmfhs.org.uk Carole Marshall wrote: > My name is Carole and I live in Canada.
