Wiltshire Lookup Requests / Re: Bradford-on-Avon Parish Record Lookup- Scott

liverpool lass:

Months ago we were talking about my g-grandmother Maria Scott, and I never followed up with you. Do you think you could re-create our conversation and check out the records office in Trowbridge for her death record for me?

Thank you.

Ancestry.com has recently added the "England & Wales, FreeBMD Death Index: 1837-1983." It appears I have located my g-grandmother Maria Scott in the index, having passed away April, May, or June in 1899 in Bradford-on-Avon at the age of 75. (Volume 5a, page 87)

How are the Obituaries from the local papers from that time period? I know I am asking a lot, but is there someone out there who could scan those three months in the local papers and find the obit? Or look up the death record for me from the aforementioned volume?

Thanks.

Duke

Thank you, Frances!

A few questions:

Does "born America" mean the United States? Could it mean Canada as well?

Anyone know what the Lady Well House in Bradford is?

My great-grandfather, Samuel Scott, was christened at Holy Trinity at Bradford on Avon on January 6, 1859. He was born to William Scott and Maria Bailey on November 8, 1858, I'm assuming nearby. That is pretty much all I know about g-grandfather in England (he emigrated to Pennsylvania around 1873.)

I'm interested in the record of his christening to see if it would shed any light on his family. Any other suggestions on where to find more information would be welcome.

Thank you.
