Weston of Barrow Gurney

[iolaus]

In the burial transcripts (available on freereg) my several times great grandmother Ann Weston (nee Pratt) 1788 - 1824 is buried on 7th Jan 1824 at St Mary and St Edward, Barrow Gurney (entry 34)

11 days later on 18th Jan 1824 entry 35 gives the burial of 'infant' James Weston, with no record of whose son he is.

I suspect he is the son of Ann and Shadrack Weston (they have children every 2-3 years regularly up to this point) and that Ann died of childbirth related complications -but as there is no baptism for James I have no proof of this and I was wondering if anyone would be able to do a look up for me, I'm hoping there is more info which has not been put on the transcript

Thanks

From Somerset Monumental Inscriptions
James Weston
17 January 1824
'their son aged 1 month'

Unfortunately is doesn't say whose son, but that would give James's birth December 1823 which may be helpful

[iolaus]

Whose grave is he in?  Presumable that inscription implies he's in his parents grave

[Captain2]

Ah.. good thinking..
The reference is '59' for James's monumental inscription

Taken from the inscription for Ann Weston
Reference '59'
Wife of Shadrack Weston
3 January 1824

whoop!!

It is them!

Don't suppose I could be cheeky and ask if Shadrack's dates are on there too

[Captain2]

I can't find anything for Shadrack in the MI's however from the National Burial Index
Shadrack Weston
Aged 87
4 July 1866
Barrow Gurney
Blessed Virgin Mary & St Edward
