Hello all,
I am new to the list and have thoroughly enjoyed reading everyone's
postings about Wedmore.
My chief interest is the family of my grandmother, Caroline Osborne, b.
Wedmore 22 Mar. 1878. The only information I have from England about her
family is a copy of the listing in the 1881 Census, which indicates that at
that time their address was Rose Cottage, Cheddar Road. Her father, James
Osborne, listed his birthplace as Woolverton, and I always assumed that
meant the village in Somerset. However, I recently obtained a copy of his
death certificate from Kane County, Illinois, which states that he was born
in Woolverton, Gloucestershire. Can someone tell me if there really is a
Woolverton in Gloucestershire? It is possible that the person
supplying the information for the death certificate made an error.
Thank you.
