Windsor burial (1887)
« on: Saturday 04 August 12 22:18 BST (UK) »
Could anyone spare some time for a burial look-up in Windsor please? I am looking for any further information on:

Clara Eva B Brimicombe
born March quarter, 1884 at Totnes Devon
died March quarter, 1887 at Windsor, Berks

I'm hoping that her parents are William Heath Brimicombe and Bertha, his wife.

I'm sorry, but I can't tell from what I have whether the record will be at St John Baptist or St Peter & St Andrew. If she was the child of the family I am looking for, her father (William Heath) was in the Coldstream Guards, so was presumably stationed at Victoria Barracks. I'm afraid I'm not local though, so I have no idea which church this would indicate!

Thank-you in advance :)

Hi

Re: my reply on the post about Daisy.  William Heath Brimicombe was shown as a Policeman GNR on that baptism.  GNR is probably Great Northern Railways

Hi again Carole :) It looks like William tried several different professions after leaving the Coldstreamers! (which I'm told by the military board would have been around about 1887) The 1891 census confirms he was a railway policeman in Islington, as does Daisy's baptism there. After that thought (perhaps because of the sad memory of losing a child? Who knows) the family upped and moved to Gainsborough, Lincs (possibly by way of Doncaster, if my supposition that Edith Gladys is their child is right) and William worked as a Club Steward/'Licensed Victualler' until his death (first in Gainsborough, and then in Derby).
