Thanks Mutley
I'm desperate for *any* longshot on this.

Many thanks, I do have this information.
The elder Frederick married Emily Ridout of Bath in Bristol in 1871 and the younger married Rose Hughes.

Reminds me of when I was a kid and asked my Gt Uncle
"Where are you going for your holidays (vacation for those with challenged English)?"
Usually his reply was
"Our Gate"

Can you see a gate...

I also saw these records but none could be said to be in "easy" walking distance from Bath Spa Station. I did say Claverton would be in the wrong direction, but then, directions may be misremembered...

Well maybe we need to cast the net a little wider but still in the Bath Region. This also is not to the North of the City but there was (is) a Manor Farm at Claverton Down. Seems adjacent to where...

Hi again Isambard

There was a Manor Farm to the south of Bath. It was on Church Road between Widcombe Hill and Prior Park Road, where it becomes Ralph Allen Drive. It appears to have been part of...

I can empathise with you Colin. I enjoy the different dialects of England.

There were a few Manor Farms around Bath and even quite far out the place may still have been refered to as 'Bath', just to assist in centralising it. but to the North East it could possibly be Manor...

I recall being "Cautioned" by two Police Officers for cycling down Wellsway Bath, which had a 30mph limit at, what they claimed to be, 43mph. That was in 1968. No speedo on a bike so no fine....

And the operator shouting "Hold that pose, please!!)

Thanks once again for your thoughts Geoffers. There were no children. The male was born in Gloucestershire 9his Family of "independant means")and died 1940 in Honiton Devon. The female was born in...

Hi Vanessa

Captured images from 8mm or super 8 will always be of poorer quality than we have become acustomed to expect now. They are Anaglogue as opposed to the digital format we use today plus...

You might find that the 'Gate Keeper' also had "tied accomodation", especially for Railways where the gate keeper operated the crossing gates.
