If you don't have it already, it might be worth buying it to find out the 'normal address'. The next step would be to internet search for council cemeteries within the Borough/District.

If you *know* the family followed a particular religion, then it might be worth looking for relevant church graveyards.

There is another thread about these names...............

You say you know 'Nothing' about Charles.

If you were to buy their MC, then it will give his declared age, occupation, as well as the name of his father if known and his occupation. The witnesses, if not from the Goscombe side, might be some of his relatives.

You probably know already, but just to be sure, purchase BMD certs from the register office where registered, or http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/ for £9.25 inc P&P

Edit - Darn it! Thanks Reggie

Hello,

It may be worthwhile putting the names and details you have into the Search All Trees box (click on Search above).

That will show you if anyone on this site has any of them in their tree.

If you find any connections, you have the option of contacting the tree owners to see if they know anything. Good luck.
