Gloucestershire / Re: What happened here?

There is a separate Stillbirths Register - NOT available online.
I believe you have to contact GRO at Southport, and prove your link to the stillbirth.
Yes, I knew that. The question was, would a death have been recorded if the child was stillborn. I thought not. Which would suggest all four were born alive.

That's so sad.

Would a death have been recorded for a stillborn? I thought there had to be a live birth before a death was recorded.

Came across these death entries on FreeBMD. Not related to me as far as I know but wondered if anyone knew the story. Maybe quads?

One Name Studies: N to S / Robinson, Robertson, Roberson interchangeability
« on: Wednesday 07 February 24 09:20 GMT (UK)  »
I've been following my Robinson ancestry but have come to a point where the name seems to become Robertson or Roberson. This was in the late 1700s and early 1800s. Was this normal for the names to be interchanged? Anyone else experienced this? Anyone know the reason? Any information welcome.

Thanks for the replies. I'll follow them up.

Gloucestershire / Where would a resident of Colston's almshouses be buried?

Title says it all really. I'm trying to find the burial of Joseph Trump who died in 1874, a resident of Colston's almshouses. There was another discussion on here regarding burials of Colston's residents but it didn't really answer where the burials might take place.

Thanks if you can help.

Have a look at this earlier thread by Bugbear.   Very impressive result using photography.

That's interesting. If I have to go back I'll certainly try that. Setting a layer to display difference can be done in other image editing programs as well.

MIs for Ewelme have been published on microfiche by the Oxfordshire FHS. I don't know when they would have been recorded, but presumably a few years ago now.

The society are also producing a series of CDs with inscriptions and photos, but Ewelme isn't included yet. However, there's a further CD without images covering over 150 burial grounds (ref. OXF-MON) - it appears that this will include Ewelme, but I'd be inclined to check before ordering.

On order. Thanks.
