Hello Lynda

There are a lot of ATWELLs in Nailsea and some were miners who ended up in Monmouthshire & Glamorgan.  I haven't yet looked into Congresbury but it could be a link between Nailsea and Weare so thank you for the prompt.

As you suggest, it is possible that an account of the inquest might have been published in a local newspaper. If you contact the Local Studies Section of Weston-super-Mare Library they may be able to help you.  The local newspapers are available there on film -  They are not indexed but as you can give them an actual date of death the search should not be too difficult. 

It is also possible that an account might have been published in a newspaper local to where they were living - have you tried looking there?

Thank you very much, it will make my cousin very happy to find where her grandparents are buried. Thank you. Irene.

William and Louisa SHIELD were both buried in Milton Road Cemetery in Grave No Z 436.  

William SHIELD was buried 22 December 1948 - aged 83
Louisa SHIELD was buried 11 January 1956 - aged 72

The Grave has an inscription "We remember thee"

Plot Z is towards the bottom of the plan just left of centre - the SHIELD grave is one grave in from the path on the left.

I have checked the original records and can confirm that William URCH & Marget HUNT were married @ Christon on 21 December 1559.

Hello Dave - Well how interesting and again many thanks.   I have since used FreeReg to great effect and recommended it to two other people just in case it might help them.   All I can say is "Keep up the good work" it is much appreciated.
