Census records show him as a Stationmaster..presumably at Warminster but not certain. If anyone has any information or connection to the above to further my research I would be most grateful.

I understand that the property was owned by a Mr Hill in the early part of the 20th century, trading as WR Hill Grocer. Later it became Povey’s Stores, well remembered by many local folk. I would love to find some photographs of the property from these times and would be most grateful if anyone could kindly help me in my quest please? Thank you in anticipation!

I was wondering if you hold (or know of) any information/documents regarding Caleb Daniel (who was one of the Back Lane Methodist members persecuted in 1773. Also some of his descendents from the Daniell family (becoming two L’s) - John Daniel (1745/6 - 1834), John Daniel (1786), Jeremiah Daniell (1831). This family lived at ‘The Laurels’ in Bread St, Warminster Common and seemed to own quite a bit of land and properties and were trustees to the Methodist Chapel St chapel. Lastly, Charles James Tucker (1853 - 1924) who lived & worked in Portway and had a coachbuilding business, making them for Longleat etc. His business went downhill when his wife Augusta Daniell died in 1910. I’m still trying to find out if my Daniell’s are related to William Daniell who ran the chapel in Warminster Common (they were certainly connected). I do own copies of The History of Warminster Common and The History of Warminster which have helped as far as Caleb daniel is concerned (or at least part of the persecution). I realise that I’ve asked quite a lot here, but have done so just in the hope that you may know of something even for just one of them or know where else I may find something.
