Hi Sue,

Thank you very much for your reply.
I have been searching on and off for many years for burial location of my great great grandparents, without any luck

even if you could tell me, any names of which cemeteries in Bristol, of that era, I should start looking, did they bury people in the closest cemetery to where they lived?

Here's the information I have so far

Sarah Poad (nee Cole or Coole) b 1807 St Phillips, Bristol, died 26 Nov 1885 Barton Regis, Mary St, Stapleton Rd, Bristol
her husband is
Benjamin Poad b 12 Feb 1804 St Dominick, Cornwall,
d 21 Nov 1885 (died same location as Sarah)

Anyone with the surname Poad in Bristol will more than likely be related to this family, very interested in any information relating to Poad family.

I am very grateful for any information at all

I am also interested to know if any of the places they lived are still standing and possibly a photo of the house/s.

I really dont know how big a town Bristol is
but if these happen to be in your area, that would be great
but if not I totally understand.


If I can do anything for you, I live in Victoria, which is a state of Australia. I have access some records in Victoria, and access to some records in the town of Ballarat, Victoria, Australia.

I am being called away, so I will post most info a bit later

Again thanks for your reply
