Thanks Peter. I have corrected the Newsletter to include the information about Mark Bayley's Workshop on "Breaking down Brickwalls" on March 27th. 

Yes that is, his son Victor Launcelot Marshall is also buried there, my grandfather, 

Is that the same William Tripp Marshall Buried in Milton Road cemetery 

How much do you already know about William Tripp MARSHALL?  It appears that he was christened at Barton St David on July 30th 1854, the s/o Henry and Harriet MARSHALL nee CLARK.  Henry and Harriet's marriage is on our transcriptions at Shipham Dec 9th 1852 with Henry's father given as Jesse MARSHALL. Interestingly Harriet's sister, Frances Ann CLARK was married on the same day in the same church.
Henry MARSHALL was born in about 1827 in Axbridge, the s/o Jesse MARSHALL and Hannah FISHER who had been married in Axbridge in 1826

Check our transcriptions for more MARSHALL marriages and baptisms.  My husband has a 3 x great grandfather called Jesse MARSHALL who was born in Winscombe in 1777 but I cannot see a connection with your MARSHALL family yet.

coming late to the Feb newsletter re one's store of family information, I have the additional problem of 30 years of village information on its history as well as its families. I find resource centres are already saying they are running out of room and cannot offer to take anything. All I can do is every year try to go through what I have and lessen the load if I can and hope someone in the parish will take it over at some stage as a future resource. If the paper stuff goes thank goodness for the amount I have put onto a computer!

I agree with you, Peter.  Looking at our transcriptions of baptisms at Long Ashton Church there are 49 entries between 1843 and 1896 where the abode is given as "Workhouse, Long Ashton"
