Hi Phil I'm wondering how the National Burial Index is doing these days? Does anyone have their latest CD and, if so, what areas and time frame are covered? My friend is considering purchasing a copy. Finding deaths in the earlier years is not so easy unless you are researching in Cornwall:-) I think these days there is far more information available than when I started researching (Originally in 1953) in the 1980s and then online once we had the internet in 1999. I recall googling my maiden name and was amazed to find two sites - both set up by my 8th cousin. Now when I type in my maiden name I get 216,000 sites! How times have changed.

Hi Rosalie, John Tyler married Elizabeth Meredith (spinster) on May 17th, 1790 at St George's, Bristol. This is on the IGI lists and in the B&AFHS CDs. Also, FreeBMD gives the death of an Elizabeth Tyler in the March quarter of 1840 in the Clifton Registration District Vol 11 Page 260. Clifton Reg Dist included St George in 1840. This might be her, a death certificate would possibly settle that? Good luck.

HI Liz, Given that very few appear in the IGI (hush my mouth!) Not that I rely on Mormon offerings without trying to check each and every one. Especially ones in < & > or are clearly user submissions. So, here are a few in the elasticated B&D area for you all. (A) Elizabeth CRIPPS married Thomas HINTON on 7 December 1693 in Cirencester.

I think a lot of us make mistakes in our early years of researching or when we move into a new area of research, as you've illustrated. When I first started, I found a relative who was born in St Saviour. The only place of that name I knew of was on Jersey. It was a while before I discovered that it was a parish in south London which made a lot more sense <G> -- Charani (UK) OPC for Walton and Greinton, SOM Asst OPC for Ashcott and Shapwick, SOM http://wsom-opc.org.uk

What was "just an ag lab" in the 1700s? They really weren't very good at giving titles to jobs. Remember, even in the 20th century, titles for the same job changed radically and regularly. Take Binman/Dustbin man...he became a refuse collector and is probably now something to do with environmental waste remover! A domestic servant became a chambermaid and now they call themselves housekeepers or even personal organisers! So, in the 1790s anyone who worked the land might refer to themselves as an Agricultural Labourer - he might be a hedger and ditcher, a thatcher, a dairyman, a cow herdsman, they might have built cow sheds, barns, the ideas were endless - they just worked for a farmer and did whatever skills they had. As far as they were concerned, they would say they were agricultural labourers. So, don't decry your Ag Lab. The country could not survive without them...there was no such thing as a CEO!

I spent many years trying to find my G Grandmother's sister Suppora Lovell who disappeared after the 1870 census. I assumed she had died but could not find a death, and then I found an old note from an uncle who remembered her living with my G Grandmother around 1910 when he was a child. So she must have been alive later and I eventually found her while searching for anyone called Suppora on the Ancestry census. Because I was using a Soundex search it found someone called Zippora Barrington of the correct age and born in the correct area. A search on FreeBMD for her marriage confirmed that she was Zippora Lovell and also that at birth she was registered as Zippora Lovell. It seems that the error dated back 20 years to when I transcribed the family entry in a census from the film in Gloucester library during the 1980s. The first letter of the name was difficult to decipher and I had never heard of Zippora as a name and Suppora seemed best sounding solution. In subsequent census I obviously remembered this unusual name and didn't carefully examine how the name was spelt. That was my longest lasting brick wall.

If you post up their names, perhaps some of our overseas members will be willing to check censuses or other records to see if any of your families showed up there.

On a similar note: I have a lady who divorced her husband and later remarried under her maiden name, not her former married name. I guess she was thoroughly disgusted with him and didn't want to be associated with him in any way. She didn't have any children with him so it made it easier for her to right that period out of her life completely. -- Charani (UK) OPC for Walton and Greinton, SOM Asst OPC for Ashcott and Shapwick, SOM http://wsom-opc.org.uk ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to BRISTOL_AND_DISTRICT-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message No virus found in this incoming message.

Syston seems to have the greatest concentration of the surname Jefferies and variations in the Bristol area. Many years ago after a visit to the churchyard I estimated that pre 1800 around 1/3 of the graves were for Jefferies etc. Even today Syston is only a hamlet but the parish included Warmley until a separate parish was created in 1851. Some of the grave stones are large indicating rich business men but the fact that they had any sort of grave stone must mean they were quite well off. So hopefully not all the Jefferies in the area were rogues, unless that is how some became rich! My GG Grandfather who was born in this area around 1792 but was just an "Ag Lab".

Hi Tony There are several options here. 1. Many women put "unmarried" when they are actually widowed. I'm sure others have come across this before. 2. They emigrated. 3. John Taylor went AWOL so Augusta married again between 1851 - 1861 so you would be looking for a new name. 4. She never married John Taylor! Having said that, there is a marriage of an Augusta Sophia TAYLOR in Bristol in 3rd quarter 1852 so, did she remarry? Check on Henry BRIMSTON and William COXON to see if either of them were married to her. I then tried to find your Augusta TAYLOR in 1851 on Ancestry and I can't see her!! You don't mention the names of her children apart from James and I can't find a James TAYLOR born Bristol c.1839.

Whatever happened to Augusta Taylor b abt 1812 Bristol according to 1851 census, appears to have 3 children but is listed as unmarried in 1851. Although when her daughters marry they claim their father was John Taylor a mariner.

Hi Martin, Thank you for th#atr link, but it was the earlier reference to this site that had made me go there, find a WARN (no final "E") in the1836 Land Tax transcriptions and then pose the question. For family history purposes, I think we are "supposed" to consider the parish at the state (date) that we are dealing with and Land Tax records in 1836 and the census records refer to Bitton as in Gls, so that is what I have considered it. This messing about with Avon and Zomerzet does us a right disservice I aver! Thank you Bernice and Pat, also for responding. Best wishes, Phil In a snow cleared (by rain - not the council!)

Liz I love your virtual class, great fun, should be more! Cheers Di Haywood Fremantle Western Australia

Thank you Di. There's a problem though, all the people have come and joined us but they are all sitting here drinking my coffee and tea and not joining in:-( Now, come on everyone...you've been sat there long enough. Have you looked at the 5 generations and checked to see whose death is missing? I bet you've got one or two, you can't have completed them all...I'm speaking from experience. Take another look at your tree and let's see if we can help you.
