I have been approached with a request from Rob Stuart-Hill concerning an
important basic element in his searches that he has not been able to
clarify. Is there any contact on the list that can offer any help?

Our current surname is Stuart-Hill but family oral history has pointed to
our correct name being Lyons-Hill. Due to a family feud which caused my
great-grandfather to emigrate to South Africa, I am unable to clarify same.
My only clue is that his uncle was one Edward Lyons-Hill who resided at 11
Argyle Street and was buried at Locksbrook cemetery having died on
the1/2/1900. I think this street and cemetery are situated in Bath.
1. Is this street and cemetery in Bath, or elsewhere ?
2. Could anyone assist in identifying the parents of Edward Lyons-Hill ?
