Many thanks Arthur for your prompt reply and for the helpful information. I have not come across the website you refer to before, so thanks for that.

Graveyards and Gravestones / Buried with military honours in Taunton, Somerset, but where?
« on: Wednesday 16 March 16 21:39 GMT (UK)  »
I have recently discovered in a copy of the Taunton Courier dated 14 November 1923, that my step grandfather Henry James Vincent, who served in the 1st Somerset Light Infantry for 22 years, was buried with military honours. The newspaper says his funeral took place on 10 November 1923 at St. James' Cemetery, Taunton. I have looked at a map of Taunton and the cemetery is in Staplegrove Road, some distance from the church.

I wonder if someone is able to check the burial records in Somerset to confirm where exactly he is buried and, better still, photograph his grave for me. Any help in this respect would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks,

Devon / JOHN KNIGHT of YARCOMBE
« on: Sunday 11 May 14 17:11 BST (UK)  »
I have a John Knight (born about 1782 in Yarcombe and died 1855 in Chard, Somerset) on my family tree. From the baptism records I have of his children, I know that his wife's name was Elizabeth but do not know her maiden name. I also have no idea when John and Elizabeth were married, though have found the following records which may be possibilities:

Name:      John Knight
Gender:      Male
Marriage Date:      11 Sep 1805
Marriage Place:      Ashwater, Devon, England
Spouse:      Elizabeth Northcott
FHL Film Number:      916805

Name:      John Knight
Gender:      Male
Marriage Date:      1811
Marriage Place:      Burlescombe, Devon, England
Spouse:      Elizabeth Henson
FHL Film Number:      6340838
Reference ID:      2:3C0J476

I have the following as their children:

Ann 1809-1894 (possible)
John 1811-1889
Joel 1821-1879 (quite a gap between John and Joel)
Joan 1823-1906
Lydia 1826-1907
Robert 1828-1870

Can anybody please help me find the correct marriage record of John and Elizabeth? Many thanks.

Unfortunately, I couldn't seem to find him on the Census for 1871.  :(

England / Do I have the right Wrights?
« on: Sunday 13 April 14 22:03 BST (UK)  »
I have a William Wright as my 2nd cousin 2x removed, born Oct. 1866 in Church Gresley, Derbyshire and died Sept. 1957 in Chesterfield, Derbyshire, with no record of him every marrying, but think that this may not be the correct William.

His father I have as William Alexander Hughes Wright, born 24 Apr. 1838 in Dudley, Worcestershire and died Oct 1902 in Burton upon Trent, Staffordshire. I found who I think is this William Wright, aged 23, on the 1861 England Census for Church Gresley, Derbyshire (Folio 26, Piece 1962, Page 4) lodging with a Josiah and Sarah Coldclough. I then have him back in Dudley, Worcs, on the 1871 Census, but then back in Church Gresley on the subsequent Censuses.

Can anyone tell me who his wife was as I seem to have 2 possibilities: Mary Ann Davies born 1839 in Dudley, Worcs, and Sarah ? born 1841 in Church Gresley, Derbyshire.

I hope someone can be of help and put me back on the right track if I have got the wrong people.
Many thanks.

Glamorganshire Lookup Requests / Re: Reed family, Glamorgan
« on: Friday 16 September 11 21:49 BST (UK)  »
Hello Bessant,

Lovely to hear from you. Yes, I had come to the conclusion too that the 'Waterloo' story must be a red herring.

I live in North Somerset. My grandfather was Alfred Moses Reed born in Resolven, Glamorgan in 1880, son of Moses and Ann Reed. I only began the Reed tree a couple of years ago and have only gone back as far as my 3 x gt grandfather, Richard Reed. I don't know when or where he was born. Do you know if this is this the Richard (Bevan) Reed who died in Cardiff Gaol in 1840?

Regards,

Millymollymandy  :)

Glamorganshire Lookup Requests / Re: Reed family, Glamorgan
« on: Wednesday 17 August 11 22:08 BST (UK)  »
Now I am confused! The marriage certificate of William Reed (25) and Mary Powell (23)names Richard? Reed, Esq., as William's father, so he was Moses' grandfather, not Samuel. They were married on 17 March 1838 at the Parish Church in the parish of Langarod?, Glamorgan. Their residence at the time of marriage was Maesteg ??. Richard's rank or profession looks like 'Esq' and is written exactly as it is in his name. What does this mean? He would have been born c. 1780+. I have no idea who William's mother was. Any more ideas please?

MMM  :)
