Hi
Is there anyone who could locate and photograph a headstone in St Marys at St Marychurch?
My Gt Gt Grandfather was John Algate, born in Wembury but lived for many years in Furrough Cross, St Marychurch.
As a child during the '50's we spent our holidays in St Marychurch and I can remember my Grandmother telling me her Grandfather was buried there, as a 5-9 year old I didn't give it much thought but now it is of interest and would be gratefully received.
I can remember waiting for the bus into Babbacombe or Torquay outside St Marys.
Thanks

I have a Marriage in 1925 of Albert Chummings to Matie A....?

I am trying to determine Matie's maiden name. I believe she is of German parents.

I have SSN's for Matie and Alberts two  children from a previous marriage. 
In the 1920 census Albert was at 149 Wesson Street, Pontiac. Michigan.
In 1930 he was at 20 Michigan Ave, Pontiac.

Any help with Matie's maiden name appreciated and a possible date for the death of Albert.

Thanks
Tony

I was unable to post a pic in a reply so had to start a new thread,

So Mary if you stumble on this here is a view of Avon Street in 1860.

You are quite right that Avon Street had a fair share of Boarding Houses. During the 1800's many families came to Bath looking for work and their first accomodations were often in the many Boarding Houses around the City. So their stay there would be short. Some of our ancestors began their association with Bath in Avon Street
Avon Street was described as "a desperate and impoverished place..."

I have a William Chummings born 1859 in Melbourne Australia.
In the 1891 Census  RG12/1739 he was living at 75 Union Street. East Stonehouse. Where he was described as 'Grocers Porter'.
The home of Matilda Bartlett, Bookseller and Stationer.
Also at this address was his married sister Elizabeth Hayden, also born in Australia.

I am unable to find William in the 1901 Census.

His Father was a soldier with the 40th Reg. of Foot and served in Australia, which gives reason to Williams POB.
William spent about 5 years at the Royal Military Asylum at Chelsea after the family returned to England. His Mother having died soon after their return.

So it may be possible that William 'took the Kings Shilling' after 1891 altho he would've been in his 30's. There was a Marine Barracks at East Stonehouse.

Any leads to his whereabouts would be gratefully received.

Thanks
Tony
