Hi list, I have a question I am hoping someone may be able to answer, Is there a Cemetery /church grave yard in Westbury on Severn? if not Where would the closest one be? THanks judy from vic aust juba7@bigpond.com

Westbury on Severn has its own Church / grave yard Historically, Westbury on Severn was also the registration district, so several churches are covered.. Today you would probably be looking in Yew Tree Brake , Cinderford, East of London FHS member All e'mail scanned by McAfee virusscan

Dear Pat Hase: Thank you for your information on the problem of finding a obit for Elisha. I can see that we need to actually get the death certificate before we can go on. It should tell us the exact place of death if we are lucky. It will also give us the correct date not just the quarter. Thank you for taking the time to answer. Pamela

Hello Folks; would SKS have any information on Prescott,(near Baschurch). I can't find any records listed on the IGI for this parish. I think one of my Stokes ancestors may have been born there in the mid to late 1700's and I wanted to do a search! Any help would be greatly appreciated! I also notice that it is sometimes listed as being in Shropshire...which is very confusing. Kindest Regards, Roy Penny, Australia.

I see from Freebmd that his death was registered in the Keynsham District. The Keynsham District covered parts of both South Gloucestershire and parts of Somerset so depending upon where he died an obituary might be in different newspapers. Presumably there would have been an inquest which would also have been reported. Locally, newspapers for that area can be seen in Gloucester Library, Bristol Reference Library or the Somerset Local Studies Library in Taunton so for anyone to help you they would need to know where he died. Did he actually die in September or is that just the quarter in which it was registered? You might need to get the death certificate to narrow the search through the newspapers.

Hi Carolyn, I have done what you have said. Thanks, David

On Ancestry, when you get to the page that lists the details of the person, there is a spot that says something about listing an alternative name. You can click on that, and fill in the change on that page. Shortly after that, when you search for that name it will show up, and if someone searches Doughtone, the alternate name will show with that also. I have done that with some of my family names. Handwriting is sometimes hard to decipher especially for less common names. When you know the details of a family and where they should be, you can recognize the name easier than someone who is reading all of the names. Best to you in your research.

My Tanners come from Hampshire originally, Lucy Tanner born in the late 1700's mother of Timothy Tanner, father of George Tanner. All from Colmer/Colmere area. If you can contact him and ask him if he's interested in contacting me we may have a connection. Thank you.
