Hello Joan I did a bit of looking around and would suggest two places. Salperton is where he was born so it might be an option. It's the one I would go for first. The other place may be Newent where his wife was buried in 1844. Strange, his daughter Fanny died same time according to Free BMD 1844 Dec Q. but no mention of Fanny being buried in Newent. Probably buried with Elizabeth. However, I cannot find him buried in Newent. Do not have any access to Salperton though, except that Isaac's father William married Anne BERRY and apparently had 3 chn or more. Maybe the workhouse used a particular parish but maybe the Workhouse records would tell you more if there are any available. Glos Rec Office would know that. I tried the programme PARLOC to find out parishes around Salperton and came up with these that seem possible: Hazleton Hawling and Charlton Abbots. These are within 2 miles or so of Salperton and PUDDLES do seem to be around in these places. Depends maybe, who arranged the funeral and where THEY lived. Also strange, Isaac is stated to be unmarried in later censuses. Hope this helps somewhat.

Hello Dawn, Thank you for responding to my e-mail to the Gloucester List and coming up with some suggestions. Having someone else come up with ideas does help to clarify one's thinking.

He left Salperton many years before his death and I believe that most of his relations were no longer there -- other than the ones in the churchyard. >The other place may be Newent where his wife was buried in 1844. I think that Newent can be discounted. Isaac was about to be removed from the parish just before his wife died and it's unlikely that his daughter and son-in-law would have had his body taken across Gloucestershire to be buried with her. I did look to see what I could find about Eastington on the internet and get the impression that it would have been a pretty small place in 1889. There are no parish records for it in the FHL catalogue but I don't know if this is because the LDS didn't film them or because there wasn't a church there. Perhaps someone on the list knows and can clarify the position. Eastington seems to have come under Northleach for some things and perhaps I should be looking for a burial there. >Also strange, Isaac is stated to be unmarried in later censuses. It's only the 1851 census where he was lodging with a family and was listed as being unmarried. In all the later ones he is listed as a widower. I suspect that he had probably not been lodging with the family for long in 1851and they did not know that he was widowed, since his surviving daughter, Ann, was not with him at the time. Kind regards Joan
