Does anyone know of a post 1850's event whereby the rear retaining wall to the graveyard at St Edwards collapsed into the neighbouring Ball Hey Park. I believe there have been two such events. Were the disturbed remains reburied in the graveyard or in the municipal cemetery. Does anyone know of the existence of a burial plan (not the church's card index which is M.I's only) or the actual burial register. All info I have on relatives is from Bishops Transcripts.

My late uncle, Ernest George Sproston NOKES was born in Gloucester in 1894. It was always reputed that he was, along with others born at that time (possibly the same day), made a Freeman of the City to celebrate presumably some event. Can anyone enlighten me as to whether such ceremonial happened and what event could be commemorated. Incidentally, my uncles family were relatively transient, having 13 children, all but two born in widely different locations
