<title>Arthur Curtis of Minsterworth (reply)</title>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hi, welcome to the forum.<br />
Despite searching the PRs I've not yet found this burial,  altho there are a couple of other Curtis burials at Minsterworth before and after Arthur's so one hope's it is there somewhere.<br />
That said, this site's database has many thousands of PRs, but only 3 Arthur Curtis, none in Minsterworth ?.</p>
<p>Is this your Arthur, from FreeBMD, Minsterworth is within Gloster Rural district so seems correct as far as I can tell, is the age correct ?</p>
<p><span style="color:#006;">Deaths Dec 1957 <br />
CURTIS  Arthur H  59  Gloucester R.  7b 577 <br />
</span><a href="http://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.pl">http://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.pl</a></p>
<p>This age seems a possible fit for the following Marriage from this site's PRs, but for MINCHINHAMPTON, are you certain of the Minsterworth burial ?.  (Minchinhampton is outside the Dean so no PRs in our database).</p>
<p><span style="color:#006;">Marriage Details</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#006;">Groom Surname Groom Forename Bride Surname Bride Forename District Parish Building   Year Register Entry<br />
CURTIS Arthur H YOUNG Elsie E Stroud Minchinhampton Holy Trinity  1921 C23/2 414</span></p>
<p>From GlosBMD  <a href="http://ww3.gloucestershire.gov.uk/bmd/SimpleSearch.aspx">http://ww3.gloucestershire.gov.uk/bmd/SimpleSearch.aspx</a></p>
<p><br />
From FreeBMD again, I think this Birth fits the above Burial, also the Marriage confirms GlosBMD.<br />
<span style="color:#006;"><br />
Births Jun 1898   (&gt;99%)<br />
Curtis  Arthur Hayes    Stroud  6a 324</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#006;">Surname  First name(s)  Mother/Spouse/Age  District  Vol  Page <br />
Marriages Dec 1921   (&gt;99%)  <br />
Curtis  Arthur H  Young  Stroud  6a 795<br />
Young  Elsie _  Curtis  Stroud  6a 795   <br />
 </span></p>
<p>HOWEVER FreeBMD also has this very similar Burial, which probably is a better fit(Stroud) for the above Birth &amp; Marriage ?). So two very similar lives to untangle..</p>
<p><span style="color:#006;">Deaths Dec 1961   (&gt;99%)<br />
CURTIS  Arthur H  63  Stroud  7b 573   <br />
</span></p>
<p>Ancestry suggests the Stroud man Arthur Hayes was born and resident in Nailsworth wrt 1901 Census, by 1911 the family are in Inchbrook, Stroud. </p>
<p>????</p>
<p>Any more info you can give to clarify your Arthur's life would be very helpful, thanks.</p>
