Widcombe area of Bath

[double-trouble]

Doing some work today on my Tanner family of Bristol that are known to come from the Widcombe area of Bath . Edwin Tanner ( who is shown on some pieces as John Edwin ) and believed born to John Tanner and Mary Ann Bp . 11 Jul 1824 ( Familysearch ) Widcombe with a residence as Timbrells Court . I have spent a fair amount of time looking at Bristol Know Your Place maps for this place with no luck .
I have found other nearby places of residence on sibling bp . records ( Familysearch ) inc . Ferry Buildings ( George John Henry Tanner bp . 05 Jun 1828 ) .
The Dolemead area towards the river and near to the base of Widcombe Hill ( depending on which map you look at ) seems to be the general area of residence through the birth years of John and Mary Ann's children .

It seems John Tanner was widowed with a mrg . to Ann Cudmore ( who was a widow herself and who I believe could be the aforementioned Mary Ann ? ) . All info . again via Familysearch .

If so , would anyone have info . to her maiden name prior to Cudmore and any 1st mrg . details .
Its been a few years since looking at this treeline and decided to trawl through past notes in hope of a little inspiration .
Appreciate any thoughts or info . Regards

Timbrell's Court. A couple of clues here:

23 June 1785: Bath Chronicle and Weekly Gazette

Monday last a youth about twelve years of age, son of John Prichard, in Timbrell's Court, near the Old Bridge, was unfortunately drowned in the Avon, near Dolemead. His body lay in the water more than half an hour, so that all endeavours to restore him were ineffectual. Dr Luzzatto passing by just as the body was taken out, very kindly directed the usual steps taken by the Mumane Society for the recovery of drowned persons. The unhappy parents are real objects of compassion, having at home the child's grandfather lying dead.

2 October 1856: Bath Chronicle and Weekly Gazette
from an item on the Bath City Act Committee

They had carried out improvements in Lyncombe and Widcombe, at a cost of between £2000 and £3000. Several old houses had been purchased, one of them, the "Royal Sailor" Timbrel's Court had been improved – as much as £3000 had been laid out there.

Items reporting on the suicide of Joseph Eyles in 1869 describe him as living "in Timbrell's Court, Claverton Street, Bath" and at "Timbrels Court, Widcombe". The latter article also refers to the Old Bridge.

And here it is on the large scale OS map of 1886 running ~NS and adjoing Claverton Street,  with the Avon and Old Bridge just to the north.

AlanBoyd , thankyou very much for both info . and the map . Going down very soon to Bristol and Bath and will visit the sites I've found inc . Timbrells Court location . Thankyou again .

I have transcribed a lot of Widcombe records for FreeREG (my name is on the one you have link above).
As noted on the transcipt St James church is in Bath rather than Widcombe. Marriages took place there because the chapel of Widcombe was Extraparochial and not licensed for weddings.

Thankyou jusoneed..found a little more info today from St . James Bath on Freereg which all builds up the family knowledge of this period . Cheers
