Hello again Donna As I think you now know Rev. John HEY was the minister at the Castle Green Congregational Chapel in Bristol from Dec 1789 until his departure for the USA in 1804. Prior to 1789 he was a minister in Ringwood, Hampshire. It seems probable that some of his children were baptised in Bristol, possibly at his own chapel. The baptism records for the various non-conformist churches in Bristol, including Castle Green ( 1784 to 1837) are available on a CD from the Bristol & Avon Family History Society. If you go to their website you should be able to find the CD details. Not quite what you are looking for but it might help.

Don't forget the legal age for a girl to marry, with parental permission, was still 12 then. A 14 year old could well have been working too. She didn't have to be having an affair with anyone. She might have been raped. If that was the case, then her mother may well have taken on her child as her own. -- Charani (UK) OPC for Walton, Greinton and Clutton, SOM Asst OPC for Ashcott and Shapwick, SOM http://wsom-opc.org.uk

Hi Listers Having convinced myself that only three of the 14 children of my 2GGF, Charles COX, married, two of whom produced offspring, I've been surprised to find another of the 14, apparently alive and well in 1901, with wife and three daughters, but in Marylebone, in London. Frederick is b Bath, aged 50 and a cabinet maker. Annoyingly, his wife, Eliza, b Liverpool, abt 1859, could be Elizabeth MARTIN or Elizabeth BOYLE, whom he m in 1886, Marylebone. This marriage names him as Frederick Albert, though I only have him as Frederick. It is a little extra clue that he is my man, because a previous brother (so many of them died in infancy!) was Albert Frederick. During my recent PC/laptop woes, I lost various useful site addresses and I would like to know if Frederick was baptised as Frederick Albert. He was born in Bath about 1849, parents Charles and Charlotte, so if a very Kind Soul, with access to the area records, could have a look and tell me, I'll be more than grateful. He named one of his daughters Charlotte, so all the clues make me almost certain that he is mine. Kind regards Joy

Hi Tony She says Leslie is her son. If Edith was his mother she would have only been about 14 when Leslie was born. In those days I feel a 14 year old girl would have been extremely immature to be having an affair with someone, they were still playing with dolls! Mary filled in the form and declared that Leslie was her child. As for May Lydia - her birth is there and she is visiting an uncle and aunt. She was born in Bath like the other children in this family. I was told she was a member of Walter and Mary by other members of the family. I see your point though. I also know that the person who gave me the information had another error!! Yet another reason for checking the research of other people!! If only these people had been born after 1911:-) Another of the aunts was called Lydia - her husband died in 1907 but they lived in London. Did she return to the West Country? I can't find her at the moment - of course by 1911 she could well have married again. Oh, don't they give us stress!! Thanks for giving me more food for thought.

I was checking the 1911 census for some of my ALLEN family and find one of them somewhat confusing. Walter ALLEN was born in Bristol in 1864. He married Mary WALTERS 1892 in Bath. So far, all is well. I have the 1900 census where they are living at 26 Denmark Place, Twerton, Bath with children: Edith M ALLEN 3Q 1893 Twerton, Bath Ethel M ALLEN 2Q 1895 Twerton, Bath Walter Alfred ALLEN Dec 1900 Twerton, Bath By the 1911 census Mary says she is a widow (we've heard that one before!) Edith ALLEN - still at home Ethel is missing - she could be away working but I can't find her. Neither can I find her death unless she is the 14 year old in Tiverton but I feel not. Walter Alfred ALLEN now referred to as Alfred. Gwendoline Mary ALLEN 2Q 19 Twerton, Bath (She died 3Q 1947) May Lydia B. ALLEN 2Q 1907 Bath - she's actually visiting her uncle and aunt Leslie ALLEN c.1908/9 Bath but could it be Leslie John born Bristol? Now for the problems...Leslie would have to be born bet 1Q 1908 - 2Q 1909 - there doesn't appear to be one born Bath unless she had already moved as she was in Horfield, Bristol in 1911. I can't find the death of husband Walter unless he's the Walter who died 2Q 1906 age 44...but, he should be younger than that! If that's him then Leslie is not his child. Not only is that a problem but she then declares she's only had 5 children whereas she's had 6 children! Yes, I know I can send for the certificates but these are my 1st cousins 2x removed so outside my desire to buy certificates. Any thoughts? Liz www.btinternet.com/~e.newbery OPC for Street, Somerset

His > children were: Augustus Morrison Hey b. 5-27-1791 There's a good chance Augustus' mother's name was MORRISON since he has that as a middle name. I've had a quick look at the BAFHS CDs for Bristol and there are no HEY baptisms or marriages that could fit. There was a marriage for a Rev Thomas HAY to an Ann BRAGG in 1788 in Mangotsfield. It could at a stretch be your man if he changed his given name and the spelling of his surname for some reason. A clergyman would know the way he usually spelled his name though. > If anyone who has access to genealogy.com or ancestry.com and could > help me out, I would greatly appreciate it.

Hi Charani, I've been waiting for the rush to pass in case you're swamped with requests for look-ups. I hope that now is an opportune time. If not, please ignore this request til it's more convenient. I am interested in the ERNLE family, some of whom were connected, at least for a time in the 17th century, with Bristol. The name is spelt with many variants including ERNLEY and ERNELEY as well as forms starting in EA-, and occasionally YE-, or even HE-. They all sound the same in the end, if one isn't to fussy about H-dropping. Apart from that family, I have SMALCOMBE (and variants) and BROAD at Twerton, near Bath. In fact, I have a whole slew of Twertonian forebears, but those are the chief ones. Any LARGE (or LARDGE) family members would also be of interest, particularly those at Bristol and Westbury-on-Trym. Many thanks for your valuable time and attention. Richard Richard Carruthers, M.A. (Oxon.) OPC Purton and Rodbourne Cheney, Wilts. _________________________________________________________________ IM on the go with Messenger on your phone http://go.microsoft.com/?linkid=9712960
