Walter and Betsy Eskett used to run the Atlas Public House in Twerton. Dose anyone one know of the Atlas and where it was located?. Wally was a long distant runner who won quite a few trophies for his efforts.

Hello Twerton,

Can anyone tell me of any old cemeteries in the area and are there any record offices for them?

Thankyou,

I live in Western Australia. All my relations on my mothers side came from Twerton Area.

My grandfather Ernest John Eskett, a plate layer, and wife Rose (Allen) and 4 children lived at Inverness Road in 1911. My mother was the 2nd eldest. Ernest came to W.Australia late 1911, bought 163 acres, built a house and 2 years later brought his wife and family here.

Grandmother brought many daffodil,snowdrop,fresia and other flower bulbs with her and each year they still come through and make a wonderful site, making me think of where they came from.

My sister and I were in Twerton in October 2008, at that time I did not have details of the addresses that the family lived nearly 100 years ago.

Would there be any photos of this area? Would anybody have any small detail of any of anything of interest? Would be much appreciated.

What A beautiful town you all live in.

Hope to hear from Somebody.

Regards Eleanor
