Deaths Jun 1879 (>99%)
Thompson Ellen Elizabeth 17 Barton R. 6a 93



By 1881 the rest of the family (ie - John, Sarah, Florence, Clementina, and Edward) was living in Barton Regis (Can't copy from Ancestry today, for some reason, though OK from other sites.)

EDIT:
Barton Regis reg district was created from Clifton district in 1877.
