I appreciate the Trowbridge Cemetery MI's.  I am researching the Abraham BOWYER family, and the list of their burials was helpful.

You are very welcome! I am glad someone has found them helpful! If I can do anything else let me know.

Hello Liverpool Lass

Have just been reading through some Wiltshire info and came across your very useful Trowbridge Cemetery MI's.  I don't suppose you came across the name Ledbury on your gravepacking expedition?  There would be a few of them I would think?  Not to worry if you didn't it's always worth asking!  And if there is anyone out there who knows anything about the Knees family in connection with the New Central Garage, Trowbridge c1929/39 I would be very interested.  Thanks for your time.

Hi there Nanny, I will have a look. Can you give me full names please? Do you know if they were of a particular religious persuasion as there are several more burial places in the town. I don't know about a Knees connection with a garage but there is a local Department store called Knees in the town centre. Will see what I can find out.

[liverpool lass]

Hi again, Thought you might like to look at this link about the Knees in Trowbridge. It does mention a garage. You may be able to contact the page for more info.
