I've used the records of Westbury Union. I did a search for an inmate who died there in 1907. Could'nt find anything.

He was James Evans 1817-1907. Son of Thomas Evans and Margaret Trigg of Elton. James was father to my greatgrandmother Sarah Jane Evans. He was originally a cordwainer, but joined Gloucestershire Constabulary 14 August 1840 (A Peeler!). Warrant No. 300. Newnham Police (Post) Station.

Don't know why he ended up in the Westbury Union, there were plenty of relations around.
