Many thanks for your help.

I can't help with your particular query but the nearest I can do is to give you a list of members of the Police who were in Weston in 1901.  Perhaps someone may be researching these families and have a similar photograph.  Have you contacted Brian Austin - he may know who was in Weston in September 1903 at the time of the storm?

Those marked with  * were still in Weston in 1911.

As you are a full member - take a look at the burial transcriptions for St John's Axbridge - there is a burial which looks possible in 1883!

With thanks to Dave Tyler, one of our society volunteers, who this afternoon found an account of the death of Olive EVERY in the local newspaper.  I will send you a copy directly to you, but it does look as if sadly, she died from gas poisoning not as a result of an accident as you were led to believe.  

One of the society volunteers, Dave Tyler, searched both the Weston and Clevedon newspapers this afternoon in Weston Library during the Free Help Session but was unable to find any mention of those deaths.  

There are two cemeteries in Clevedon apart from the Churchyards they are adninistered by a company called Dignity which can be contacted here.  

Good Luck with your research!

The Weston District was created out of the Axbridge and Long Ashton Registration Districts and covers most of the parishes in North Somerset including Clevedon.

Any death registered under the Weston District could relate to one of 50+ parishes that made up this registration district.
