History of pubs in Somerset

Thanks Mick for all your help. Yes I think the librarians were right to suggest it was probably a house premitted to sell alchol.  I believe the Three Choughs Hotel was run by a Maria Bullen at one stage who may have some connection to the family as Edward Marsh's son married a Mary Bullen Bartlett at Mappowder.

Hi

I have also found the mention of Edward and Silvia Marsh in the momumental inscriptions for Yeovil cemetary.

Headstone:

In memory of Edward Marsh who departed this life Nov 19 1862 aged 37

Also of Silvia Marsh who died April 10th 1866 aged 49 years.

Her end was peace.

As I was at the cemetary I took a pic of the headstone,it's quite weathered but still just about readable,I would be happy to post it here for you if you don't already have it.

Regards,Mick

Hi Mick! Thank you for all your work on my behalf on the Marsh family.  I had found the momumential inscritption on the FamilyHistory online site but would love a pic if you could post it here for me, i would be very grateful.

Interestingly the age for Edward is incorrect perhaps because the stone is weathered it is difficult to read.

Thanks again, Mick

Hi Minniecat,

It's no trouble,I've had loads of help from others here and it's always nice to be able to give something back.

I was at the cemetary again today and I had another look at the headstone and I agree that the age given in the monumental inscriptions for Edward is wrong.On the stone it  looks like 37 but on closer inspection it does say that he was 57.

Here are 2 pics of the headstone,appologies for the close up but without it the inscription can not be read at all,the second pic shows the stone in situ.

Regards,Mick

Hi Folks,
I just joined and picked up this thread. There is a very good website by Bob Osborn depicting the traders of Yeovil - My family (Bollen) were licensees of several
http://www.yeovilhistory.info/traders-byname.html
His website
http://www.yeovilhistory.info/index.htm
gives the specifics of the pubs and their location, and where possible some of the previous licensee history. A great resource.
