Brilliant, I've managed to track down the marriage of George (Welch) and Harriet Fennell, at Parkend, 1846. On the transcript it gives their residences as 'Gibralter'. Is or was there a building or institution of this name? I don't think they would actually have been living in Gibralter. Harriet is buried in the churchyard at Awre together with someone called Sara Fennell, there is no mention as to the relationship between them. George is buried in Bristol but his name is remembered on the same headstone.
