Gloucestershire Lookup Requests / Re: Likely burial place in Barton Regis
« on: Friday 07 May 10 08:44 BST (UK)  »
Thanks for taking the time out to help Chas.  I'm afraid all I have to go on is the death certificate of Mary Tillett Willcox which only gives the information already mentioned.  I have her living in Almondsbury up until 1887, 3 years before she dies.  Not too sure of the distance between Barton Regis and Almondsbury to know if there would be any likelihood of her being buried in her home village. 
Thanks again.

Gloucestershire Lookup Requests / Likely burial place in Barton Regis

Hi,  wondered if anyone could help.  I have an ancester who lived in Almondsbury, Bristol but died at 1 Mansfield Place, St George, Barton Regis on 8 Jan 1890.  I am coming over to England from Ireland next week and would dearly love to be able to view any gravestones/church records.  I have googled Mansfield Place which alas doesnt seem to be in existence any more.  Would anyone have any idea which Church of England church would be the nearest to this area so I can have somewhere to start a search?

Thanks for any help.

Hi Lizzie - well I hadn't thought of that one!  And perhaps you are right - a very good avenue to persue, thank you for taking the time to help.

Will let you know how I get on.

Best wishes

Gloucestershire Lookup Requests / Benjamin Willcox - Almondsbury, Bristol
« on: Tuesday 13 April 10 16:58 BST (UK)  »
Hi, am trying to trace birth details of a Benjamin Willcox (sometimes spelt with only one L).  He was born in Almondsbury, Bristol in 1839/40 with parents of Mary Tizzard Tillett and John Willcox.  I have details of his brother - John Henry Bennett Willcox born 1837 in Almondsbury but after doing all the usual searches I have come up to a brick wall. 

Another tie to Almondsbury is Benjamin's father, John, who is listed as being a publican and also Benjamin's grandparents John & Hester Tillett who were innkeepers in Almondsbury.  I have googled Almondsbury and think this might be at the Bowl Inn. 

The third tie to Almondsbury I have is Benjamin's great uncle John Wright was a school master there in the early 1800's.

Hope somebody can throw some light on this for me.

Would be grateful for any help

Lyn
