I have digital copies of some of the St Mary;s, Bathwick burial registers, to be added to FreeREG in due course. The earlier registers get priority and I hadn't even looked at the one covering the 1880s until now ... and the folder's empty! I'll be able to get another copy but it may take a few days. My copy of the following register is intact and Emily is in there. Emily Grace Cooper, 27 Pulteney Street, Bath, aged 89, bur 20 Oct 1906 By the 1880s almost all the original parish graveyards in Bath were full and closed. Bathwick started two new graveyards at Smallcombe in the 1850s, one specifically for St Mary's and the other for all denominations. The latter had separate registers so as Emily is in the St Mary's register she was presumably buried in the St Mary's graveyard, and probably the rest of the family were as well. http://www.widcombeassociation.org.uk/Localhistorysociety/HN06%20Smallcom be%20cemeteries.pdf Bath Central Library has copies of the MIs from some of the cemeteries. I don't know if that includes St Mary's but I'll have a look next time I'm there. -- David Hartley

Literally a couple of minutes before it closes but I just had time to photograph the relevant entries from the index to the St Mary's cemetery at Smallcombe. This gives the basic details but not a full transcription of the gravestone. In fact I'm not sure if the details are taken from the stone or from the burial records. Anyway, all four are included. The Newenhams are buried at Section D, Row L, Plot 28 and the Coopers at Section D, Row Ja, plot 30. The dates of death are as you quoted, except Sir Charles died 24 May 1887. It appears there are memorial stones at each plot, but Emily is shown as not having an MI. I'll send the photos of the pages to you directly, they're a bit large to attach here. -- David Hartley
