    2. Jon Baker
    3. The url should be: http://www.familyresearcher.co.uk/glossary/Dictionary-of-Old-Occupations-Ind ex.html#Old%20Occupations%20-%20R Unfortunately like all of the other old occupation indexes to b found online "fish scudder" is not included. The only clue I can find is that a "scudder" was a term for a scout or spy. I don't really see how this is relevant to fish, but maybe someone else can see a connection. I can only think that spying on fish is a throw back to the co(l)d war (puns intended).

    1. Re: [GLS] Cemetery management/care
    2. Graham Taylor
    3. It all depends on who owns and administers the Cemetery. If its an open churchyard then its the Church. If its an open cemetery is may be the church or the local authority. Plots can have varied leases . Some areas are down to 25 years, some remain at 99 years. There is a lot of pressure on land today and various new methods of burial are being introduced. A lot can vary from authority to authority as can charges for burial and cremation plots. If you want to be specific chose a Cemetery in Gloucs and take your research from there. Its unlikely that any two will be identical if they in different authority areas.

The actual plots are the responsibility of the owner (where applicable). If a plot is neglected, then the cemetery supervisor and/or local authority will try to contact the owner. The local authority is responsible for the care of the cemeteries themselves. The cemetery supervisor is employed to maintain the cemetery. > Is interment permanent or are there times when bodies are removed, > and if so, to where? To all intents and purposes, it's permanent. However, bodies can be moved if the cemetery has been sold and is being redeveloped (not sure I'd want to live on the site of a former cemetery though!), if there's subsidence or other damage. The remains are moved either to another part of the cemetery or to a new one. Efforts will be made to contact any plot owners. -- Charani (UK) OPC for Walton, Greinton and Clutton, SOM Asst OPC for Ashcott and Shapwick, SOM http://wsom-opc.org.uk http://www.savethegurkhas.co.uk/

There is a Sofia BARNFIELD living in Cranham in the 1841 census (HO107/363/12, folio 13, page 2) with parents William & Mary plus 5 siblings.
