Henry PRIDDLE - Death 1977

[downside]

Now that the FRC has closed down I'm hoping someone can help me solve a mystery.  I'm trying to find out when Henry Priddle was born.  I've just been informed that he died in 1977 and that he was in his 80's.  If his death is listed then in 1977 then it should mention how old he was and that should help me find his DOB.

Thanks

PS He lived in Isle Abbotts, but I don't know if he died there.

Hi Downside

Does this look possible?

Dec 1977
Henry George Priddle 6 Au 1893 Taunton D 23 1255

Thanks Barbara that definitely looks possible.

If he was the only Henry Priddle to die in 1977 in the county of Somerset then it must be him.

Thanks for your speedy response.

The only other 1977 death of a Priddle with Henry in the name was a Joseph Henry Priddle, in Fulham SepQ 1977, DoB 16 Sep 1915.
So Henry George looks the best fit.

Hi all

I found this in the MI's

Henry George Priddle died 28 October 1977 aged 84.  Isle Abbotts BV Mary

Thanks for that confirmation Barbara.

Thanks Sheila. 
What is MI's? 
It sounds like Marriage Index?
What is BV Mary?

I suspect that Henry George Priddle appeared as just Henry Priddle on the 1901 census aged 7.  For some reason I can't find Stocklinch on my roadmap of Great Britain, although I am told that it is 3 miles northeats of Ilminster.

PS Henry George Priddle was married 3 times apparently - any chance of finding those marriages (he asks cheekily) - especially marriage number 2 to Ellen Louisa West?

What is BV Mary?

Hi Downside

They are Monumental Inscriptions.  I noticed on others that several names appear (people in the same grave) but this one only shows his name.

I have no idea what BV Mary means.  Maybe something to do with the church or graveyard.  Will have a look round to see if I can find out.

Hi again

You may already have this but just in case.  Found this on Genuki Somerset.

http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~sarahhawkins/isle_abbotts.htm

There are several Priddle deaths including one for Ellen Louisa Priddle, 2 November 1937 aged 49, Ile Abbots.

May be useful to you.

Thanks Sheila.

I know about the Sarah Hawkins listing, although now I have Mr Priddle's first name I hope I can make some progress in finding out when and where he and Ellen married.
