The Common Room / Re: The Fate of Family history research when we die

Apologies I did try to see if I could find a similar thread but clearly missed it.
The research crosses various counties. I did wonder if any family history societies would consider it.

The Common Room / The Fate of Family history research when we die
« on: Thursday 31 October 19 18:17 GMT (UK) »
Good Evening
No one wants to think about their own demise but sooner or later one we have to consider the question of what happens to all the hard work and researches when they pass on.
I have been asked to find a fitting home for the researches of a lady who has passed away as there are no family members wishing to continue her work.
The work is not currently online and was created before digital researching. It is beautifully presented with large drawn trees and all the supporting documents.
I would like to honour this ladies work and am trying to find a way that access can be given to this material.
Any ideas would be gratefully received
Many thanks

Graveyards and Gravestones / Re: Looking For Grave In Enmore, Bridgewater Of Grandfather

Hello Adam
Please PM me as I have visited Enmore Church as promised. I did not find the grave of Sydney Hill but I did photograph Lexworthy Villas. If you could PM your email address I can send a photograph of the house ( I did get owners permission to photograph) . I also checked out Durleigh Churchyard which is close by and tried a brief search of Quantock Road cemetery to no avail.

Hello Adam
Could not PM you so hope you see this message.
I now have a date in my diary to visit Enmore - 28 April. I am sorry its a month off but I have scheduled it to coincide with meeting my friend at one of the two pubs near Enmore and having lunch there. We will comb the church yard for relevant memorials and also try to find the house your Grandfather last resided at to photograph it for you. Whilst in the pub we will ask the necessry questions.
I note the 1939 register shows Sydney and Ada living at 41 Queens Road Bridgwater. It maybe if Sydney was not a long standing resident of Enmore that he is buried in one of the town's cemeteries.
It maybe worth you contacting Bridgwater council to check out St Johns and Quantock Road cemetery. I think they will do this free of charge.

There is a cemetery at Wembdon. They charge a fee for checking their registers. If the above search comes back negative and I find nothing in Enmore it maybe necessary to contact them
http://www.bridgwatercemeteries.org.uk/
If some of the family graves are in one of the cemeteries and you can provide a plot number I will check it out for you.
