Ooh, thanks for this, I'll follow up both your suggestions. I don't mind paying for the report etc as I agree with you - the written word can often clear up many misunderstandings!!
I have had many stories about my gt grandmother over the years but now I have confirmed that she did indeed commit suicide with carbolic acid poisoning - what a horrible way to go!

I would also like to find out where she is buried. I can't find any parish record details for her so guess she was buried somewhere other than the churchyard - possibly the cemetary in Lydney?

Any suggestions on checking this out welcome!!

Thank you again - much appreciated

Ruth
