I am trying to find information on a distant family member - Margaret Anita West (1960-1978 Weston), especially relating to the circumstances of her death. I am unable to find any newspaper stories relating to her death - although I may not be looking in the right places!
I would also like to know more about her mother Rosmary Kelleker, and if she had any other children. Kelleker is a very unusual name but I have hit a wall with regards to the above.
Any information or pointers as to where I can look further would be very useful to me.
Cox family published by on Wed, 07/08/2013 - 23:20
My Cox ancestors have ties to Weston-super-Mare and the vicinity. Joseph Cox was born in 1826 in Allerton to Richard & Elizabeth Cox. In the1851 census it states that Joseph was a foreman at his brother Isaac's bakery in Weston-super-Mare. In September,1851, they both emigrated to the USA after Joseph married Charlotte Hill in Bristol. I have unsuccessfully tried to find out more about his parents and ancestors who may have lived in Burnham, South Brent, and Axbridge. I am also attaching photos of John Hill or Cox (Charolotte's uncle?). One of the photos was taken by Sydney Smyth, photographer in Weston-super-Mare. I am wondering what type of uniforms he was wearing.Thanks for any info anyone can share.
Are there baptisms available at Weston-super-Mare ? Emanuel Watts from Worle (son of Thomas Watts and Susannah Fry) and Mary Ann Banwell from Kewstoke raised their family at Worle where Emanuel was a labourer and 3 of their children were baptised James on 26 Sept 1830, John on 3 Feb 1833 and Thomas on 22 March 1835. I am interested to find baptisms for two of their subsequent children - Mary Ann born c1836, Hannah born cdec1846-jan1847 at Weston-super-Mare. The family sailed to Australia in the Palmyra from Plymouth on 14 April 1848.
In 1841 they were living at Regent cottage in Weston-super-Mare next to a school, the preceding locations are High street, Devonshire Inn, various cottage names, Vale, Hill, Ivy, Sea View, Weston Hill, then after more Regent cottages, Villa, Marine, Weston, then 6 and 7 East something, bvd ?, then Weston again. What would be the nearest Church ?
