    Thanks for the quick response! It goes to show how well a forum like this works.

    According to the CWGC citation the address of Reverend Kay's wife was at Watermillock (near Ullswater) in what used to the the county of Cumberland (now Cumbria).

    During WW2 Rev. Kay's father (also a clergyman) looked after the parish of St Bartholomew, Shapwick, Dorset.
