    Geoff,

    I am still working on Storey - he isn't in the later Quantock Rd. cemetery, but the earlier one which has been closed to the public for some years.

    I will try again this week, complete with hi-vis jacket and hard hat !

    I thought I had all of Bath (Haycombe) however these two seemed to have been missed.

    Any chance that anybody might be able to get these two as well as the one at Taunton St Mary's?
