I've found Thomas Carter at 22 Severn Avenue in 1939, as a widower, and living with Mary A Carter. He is classed as a widower, and she is single

Severn Avenue is just round the corner from St Pauls Road

He is a retired college porter, and she is a boarding house proprietor 

Perhaps she is his sister in law.

10 Beach Road (Cromwell House) was demolished in the late 1930s and then used by Bakers Coaches.

FreeBMD certainly suggests that John Starkey FRY married Mary Elizabeth EMETT - same year & qrt and same reference number.

Marriages Sep 1851 
EMETT  Mary Elizabeth    Axbridge  10   448A 
FRY  John Starkey            Axbridge  10   448A

Don't forget that the Axbridge Registration District covered 38 different parishes.   

There are two children born to this couple who were christened at Uphill - see our transcriptions.

The name EMMETT or EMETT was common in the Bristol area and a Mary Elizabeth EMETT was christened 30th Aug 1819 at Mangotsfield d/o Charles & Mary - from transcriptions available from Bristol & Avon FHS on CD or as a download.  You would need to check that she didn't die young.

Thank  you for that link.  Not sure which Robert is the nephew but John, Edward, Jesse &  Charles are sons of John harden & Martha Neighbour.  Haven't been able to make the link to Betty, don't know if you can help at all?

Thank you very much for this information, Pat.  Yes, Caroline was still occupier of Cromwell House in 1923. She died in 1932 and was still resident there at her death.   Interesting to see the photograph of 10 Beach Road when Bakers Coaches were operating from that address - and very different again today.  I will look out for some old photos of Beach Road from the early 20th century - I guess it might have been shown on early postcards.
