Hi folks
I have a sketch plan of the Holy Trinity Parish Church, Wickwar, old Wickwar parish graveyard, with the plots numbered and details on the relevant stones.
These date from 1880 to 1997.
I am happy to look up anyone, and / or email the details through.

Hi Brian, thank you for offering this information. My family includes the Prosser family from Wickwar, one of whom was Louisa Prosser who married a man called ? Fry. Apart from knowing they had a daughter called Violet that is all the information I have (in my defense I have only just started writing down a few details from my mother!). Louisa was aged 3 on the 1881 census if that helps at all in finding her.
Look forward to hearing from you.

Hi Bri! I've just joined, and this is my first post. My mother was a NIPRESS, but I wasn't aware of any connexion with Wootton/Wickwar. Could you let me know details you have of FRANKLIN and NIPRESS ? Many thanks, David

Nippress and Franklin
Dear Brian, Many thanks for this information. I have the Nippress on my database, but no known connexion to my Nipresses; the Franklins are not related. Wickwar is an interesting name (not Warwick?). Despite living just over the border in Warwickshire, I had not heard of Wickwar. Best wishes, David

No it's not Warwick! Wickwar is a village near Wootton under Edge. I have family near Bristol and coming off the M5 at Falfield (J14) there are signs to Wickwar. On the way home, I come off the motorway and see signs for Warwick!!
