Info: Trowbridge Cemetery listing of Memorial Inscriptions

[Nanny McPhee]

Hello again

Snap, I had just pulled my old notes out and realised who Gt Uncle Herbert was.  Trouble is, you do so much research and you think you know them off by heart and then forget them when you start back on another branch. Took a look at Google Earth and they all lived within streets of each other during their lifetimes too.

Good luck with the back to school thing.  Hope the new intake are good ones!

Hi,

I think I have spoken to a couple of you before regarding Whitcombe / Whitcomb / Witcomb 's from Trowbridge. I am particularly looking for my partners 4x Great Grandfathers first wife. He remarried in 1816 and on his marriage cert it does say Widow. This is the only piece of information I have that relates to a possible first marriage. I can only presume, although I may be wrong, that his first wife is buried somewhere in the cemeteries of Trowbridge. This is what I am hoping.

His name was John Witcombe (this is how it was spelt on is marriage cert) and he was probably old enough to marry from about 1805 onwards. His parish was definitely Trowbridge, St James, I believe. 

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Many thanks in advance.

Hi, I will make a note and have a look next time I am hunting around.

In relation to the original listing, which is most useful and a great resource.  In the need for accuracy  there are two errors on the Grave noted for :

Vine.
William Vine d 17/2/1836 aged 58. Interred in Tabernacle Burial Ground.
Ann Vine, wife, d 27/5/1860 aged 79.
Ellen, wife of Joshua Perkins and daughter of above, b 16/8/1884  d 24/7/1894.
Joshua Perkins died at Southsea 15/10/1906 aged 9

It should read

Ellen, wife of Joshua Perkins and daughter of above, b 16/8/1814  d 24/7/1894.
Joshua Perkins died at Southsea 15/10/1906 aged 95 years

Sorry Research. Haven't looked at this thread for a while. Will try to get you a photograph in the next couple of weeks. Meanwhile I see one of those named died in Shaw House, Melksham. I have included a link with some info about this place.

If anybody goes to the cemetary again and could have a look for any variations of the name, I'd be very appreciative. Its my husband great x4 grandparents family we are search for.

Thanks
