Most of my paternal line ancestors were from the Bedminster/Redcliffe Hill area and I myself have not been able to trace one single grave primarily because some of the older churches have been demolished, including St Johns mentioned above. Most frustrating.

"Thank you for the link to the historical map. I had not realised that coal was a big industry in the area.  I cannot find any results for the Malago Vale Cemetery on a google search.

I have a copy of his death certificate however it does not indicate where he may be buried. On the top  of the certificate it advises that Death in the Sub-district of Saint Augustine. His grand-daughter Ada Thomas who registered the death lived in St Michael, Bristol."

St Augustines  is very central to Bristol, as is St Michaels Hill. Both within walking distance of the Bristol City Centre.

Two different Freds I am afraid. Fredk James Matthews Saddler & Harness Maker was my grandfather, married to Maggie Clutterbuck. The Saddlery goes back 200 years and the coal miner is not connected with this family.
