Hi again Fozzy,
just a thought that may be of interest to you, regarding the Genuki site I mentioned earlier wrt local government districts; there's another aspect to that great website that I think very usefull for FH research. It gives a good insight into how a place was in olden times, gives usefull references to local small villages whose names we may not recognise today, and sometimes contains extra data such as Census returns.

For Westbury On Severn this site link is

http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/GLS/WestburyonSevern/index.html

and associated pages, again a site I think well-worth browsing around, and very usefull when researching a "new" area in your tree.

One of it's linked sites about Westbury is a good read and also includes a few Triggs, perhaps yours.
"Most Victorian burial registers make dry and depressing reading, but the register for Westbury on Severn is an exception.... which highlight the hazards of life in this rural parish in the late 19th century."
