10 Beach Road, Weston-super-Mare
published by Pat Hase - 9 years 3 months 22 days ago.

She was still living there in 1911 - see 1911 census.  Some streets were renumbered in 1908/09 but it doesn't look as if Beach Road was - probably because it only has buildings on one side.

The Somerset Heritage Centre has records of planning permission granted in Weston and if you look at their online catalogue (which has very recently changed) you will see this entry for Cromwell House, Beach Road (which was the name given to No 10 Beach Road in later street directories) for a T ALLEN,  presumably Caroline's husband, for some alterations planned in 1903.

Interestingly in a Street Directory for 1923 a Mrs ALLEN is listed as the occupier of Cromwell House, 10, Beach Road.   Is this still Caroline?

Some photographs of that section Beach Road in the 1920s or 30s might help you - This much later photograph shows Bakers Coaches using the same site and obviously rebuilt.


William DAY
published by Pat Hase - 9 years 3 months 22 days ago.

I'm intrigued by your two Williams!  I can see in the Parish Registers for Woolavington published on CD by the History of  Woolavington Group that the William DAY who married Hannah RICHARDS on the 15th Jan 1765 was called William the Younger.  Where did you find the William who married Maria YOUNG referred to as the Elder? 

Don't forget that the term can change with time - the younger can later become the elder if he has a son of the same name.  

Have you read this entry on Rootschat?  Someone with the same query.  In my experience elder and younger is usually used to denote a father/son or uncle/nephew relationship but there is always an exception which proves the rule!

Yes it sounds like it Robert Harden was my direct ancestor.  Will just have to check out the dates. Sounds interesting, thank you.


Fry family

i won't be able to help as I haven't done any research but I have an Irene Emment Fry in my tree, daughter of Matilda Harden and Henry Emment Oscar Fry.  I am related through Matilda.


Fry Connection
published by - 9 years 3 months 23 days ago.
Hi I have Fry connections in Somerset - my 3rd great-grandfather is John Starkey Fry born in 1824 in Weston-super-Mare to John Fry & Harriet Starkey. I have found a marriage record for John Starkey Fry in Axbridge, Somerset 1851 but it doesn't say who he married. I have also found a record for a Martha Elizabeth Fry, child of John Starkey Fry & Mary Elizabeth Emmett. However I find no record of a Mary Elizabeth Emmett and am slowly working my way through all the Mary Emmett's born in England to see if I can find her. I don't have a Cordelia Fry on my tree but my tree does have a lot of gaps. I am not sure what you mean by "Somerset Levels Fry" families. I shall do some research as that may help fill in some of the gaps.

Harden Family Mystery
published by - 9 years 3 months 23 days ago.
Two living children in the same family being given the same name. Yes, two sons of Joseph and Joan Day of Woolavington - were both called William! William (known as William the Elder) DAY married Maria Young 10/2/1777 at Woolavington. William (the Younger) DAY (bapt.30/6/1737) married Hannah Richards c.1763. They were part of the Day family of Limeburners of Woolavington. Incidentally, we, too, have Hardens in our Chappell family tree. Betty Harden m. John Gadd 19/1/1765 at Loxton, and as "the Widow Gadd" m.William Chappell 20/6/1770 at Weare. In her will of 8/5/1824 she left property and cash to five nephews: Robert Harden,in Weare, John Harden, in Badgworth, and Edward, Jesse and Charles Harden. Is this the same family? Raysboy.
