Isaac Webley Burchill (Week 1 - FFFFF)
Name - "official" name and what they were known as
Isaac Webley Burchill Date and place of birth About 1804 at Mangotsfield, Gloucestershire Names of parents George Burchill and Elizabeth nee Webbelee Date and place of baptism - if applicable 27th Jan 1805 at Mangotsfield, Gloucestershire Details of each of his or her marriages - if any 29th Dec 1825 at St James, Bristol to Elizabeth Jefferies Occupation(s) - if any Butcher Addresses where they lived (including county if in UK) - and please list which censuses you have or haven't found him/her on (if s/he lived in census times!). I have all censuses 1841-1881. Isaac lived in Downend, Mangotsfield, Gloucestershire in all records I have. Date, place and cause of death 23rd Oct 1881 at Downend, Mangotsfield, Gloucestershire of senile decay Date and place of burial. 30th Oct 1881 at Downend Churchyard, Mangotsfield, Gloucestershire (Area 16 Grave No 8) Details of will / administration of their estate - if applicable None Memorial inscription - if any ISAAC WEBLEY BURCHLL DIED 23RD OCTOBER 1881 BURIED 30TH OCTOBER 1881 AGED 77 WIFE ELIZABETH BURCHILL DIED 15TH FEBRUARY 1883 BURIED 18TH FEBRUARY 1883 AGED 80 The above is from MIs drawn up several decades ago. The gravestone has now fallen face down and we could not read what was written on it. I think it likely the wording would now be illegible anyway.

This is very much my patch. I am a member of Downend local history society who are very active and have a large collection of local photos.

Oooh, that interesting Anne! I have only been there the once and that was years ago, before I really knew what I was doing research-wise.
Should you come across Curtis Lane Butchers Shop in your travels I would be very interested - that's where Isaac was living in 1881 - I guess it was probably where he lived for decades, but it didn't get a name before then! Isaac's mother was b in Mangotsfield, but George Burchill (Isaac's father) was from Bristol itself. Most of the family stayed in Mangotsfield and/or Horfield until the 20thC.

I will look out to see what I can find. If you write to Downend Local history society, the folk house Overndale Road Downend I am sure they will look through their library as well.

I notice if you google his name he is part of a large on-line tree. I found this as well: http://www.frenchaymuseumarchives.co...ley-Coombs.htm

I have been in touch with several people who have contributed to the Coombs tree - not for years now though......Maybe I will make contact again. Thanks for that.

I have just been reading the links to the Winterbourne parish magazine - really interesting stuff about St. Michael's children home and their day trips to Bristol Zoo and Weston: nothing to do with your family ofcourse but then family history is like that. Did you see the photo of Mr. Day the headmaster.

If you go through the link I gave you and then click on Mr. Day's name in the family tree there is a picture of him and his school. The Frenchay museum is in the grounds of Frenchay hospital and I have spent time browsing there while waiting for patients. It is small but very interesting.
