I'll be in Devizes at some point this month.
Point me in the direction of the grave and maybe I'll find it.

And because of health issues etc. no Christmas tree etc. this year - all my wonderful collection of glass baubles, dating back over 100 years, will stay dustily in the loft, probably not come out again until.....
Ah well.TY
TY that's a shame. Can you not hang them on something else ? A bare branch or two Some tinsel.Or have I got it wrong and it's the attic access that's the problem.  ::)

I may be wrong here, but a reed roof would only display the ends of the reeds. Likewise Straw ?(unsure)
The lady could easily be over 70.

My skin has started to burn very easily in the sun. Last week my left ear had swollen with sunburn. I couldn't get my finger in to scratch it. Similar to your description Viktoria. It is now well on the way to normality, thank goodness. I am well aware of my problem, and haven't been out in the sun until after tea time just for a minute or two. I would have thought the sun would have less effect as you aged. Live and still learn.  ;)

Linash seems to get some connection with Russia. I don't know why though  :)
I'd have said Flinash but what is the scroll like a bracket before the f ?
I think his wife is 'Manchester'
Visitor possibly Liverpool
I suspect the letter at start is an S with some of it too faint or missing....Guess...Shi(e)rashovo
Look at the S's beginning the occupations.
This is an AI overview. I don't normally like these. Do you think it's right ?
In 19th-century Russia, the term "Shirash" likely refers to the Circassian genocide, a period of forced displacement and ethnic cleansing of Circassians and other groups from the North Caucasus, resulting in mass emigration to the Ottoman Empire.
