Thankyou for all the replies. I will go and see again in the week to check, but I am pretty sure it said Also At.

The Common Room / Re: "Also At" on a gravestone
« on: Saturday 15 June 24 12:37 BST (UK) »
Hi thankyou for your reply. Following the inscription for her husband it reads.
Also At
Emma
Wife of the above
and then the death details.
My querie is really did they scatter the ashes on the husbands grave, then inscribe the wording as if she was buried there.

The Common Room / "Also At" on a gravestone
« on: Saturday 15 June 24 09:06 BST (UK) »
Many years ago I found the gravestone of my g grandfather's sister, the same grave as her husband who had died 17 years previously in 1934. Emma's inscription in 1951 began with the words "Also At" and I have always presumed she was buried with him. Now I have found a newspaper obituary for her stating that she was cremated at a crematorium in the nearest city to where they lived, some 12 miles away. So, does anyone know whether the fact she is inscribed on the grave means that her ashes were scattered in, or on the grave, or was the wording just a memorial to her ? Do the words "also at" have any relevance?
Thankyou. Dale Lidbury

Somerset / Re: Frome 1785 census
« on: Tuesday 02 January 24 17:47 GMT (UK) »
Just to warn you that the census only gives the head of the household, usually the husband and the number of males and females living there. These people are not named.

One Name Studies: H to M / Re: LIDBURY
« on: Sunday 23 October 22 18:59 BST (UK) »
Hi Jean. Thankyou for your message. I do have masses of information on the Lidbury families of Somerset and Wiltshire, but I do not seem to have the baptisms of either of the Williams, 1694 Berkley or 1699 Warminster. I would be very interested to know your source material for these. I do have both of the William's marriages in 1724, but like you have no clue as to the parents. I do have a note in my research though, from another researcher, that William Lidbury married Mary Moss at Beckington, the son of Thomas Lidbury and Sarah Adams. Thomas and Sarah were married at Berkley 5.7.1694 , and Thomas was baptised at Warminster 31.1.1664.
The William that was born in 1694, is therefore probably not their son as Thomas and Sarah were only married in July that year (although not impossible of course), so if my fellow researchers information is correct, it is more likely to be the 1699 William that married Mary Moss. I do hope this makes sense, and sorry not to be of more help.

United States of America / What was a "mining property" in 1916 ?
« on: Thursday 01 April 21 22:07 BST (UK) »
Hi all from UK.
I would appreciate any help please. My great grandfathers brother emigrated to USA in 1881 and spent his first 20 odd years in Wisconsin and Illinois, before moving across country in 1904 to settle in Bellingham, Washington, where he was a grocer.
I have known for a long time that he was recorded in 1917 in Tiflis, Grant County as having some land. Recently I found a newspaper clipping from July 1916 in the San Poil Eagle, (Keller, Ferry County) which states that he is " here and has begun work on his mining property , a short distance west of town"
My questions are, what exactly would a mining property be in 1916, and w
hat would they be mining at Keller ?
And could the mining property just west of Keller actually be the same one as he had at Tiflis, although it it about 90 miles away, and more South West direction. I appreciate that 90 miles in the US is really just a short hop, as opposed to here in UK where it would be considered some distance. Any thoughts would be much appreciated. Thank you. Dale
