Hi Lesley, He is not my direct family but 'adopted' my great aunt Edith Mary NOWELL sometime in the 1890s and she was married from that house. The B. P. & L are the initials of the stockbroking firm 'Bryant, Perry and Lowe' who were situated at 3 St Stephen Street. (Thank you Josephine Jeremiah). I assume that there is no connection to your PERRYs Regards and have a wonderful New Year, David Bossenger 4. Re: BRISTOL_AND_DISTRICT Digest, Vol 4, Issue 445 (Lesley Dawson) Dear David What caught my eye was the name PERRY as we have them on our tree! I looked up a CD I have: "Bristol & Subarban 1896 Alphabetical Name Directory" in the vague chance your man might be there, but you had given enough information for me to find him: Henry Charles PERRY (B.P.&.L) The Wilderness 9 Woodstock Road Redlands Green. Maybe you'll understand what the (B.P. & L) is as there is nothing like it after the names of others in the directory! Hope this helps and have a Happy New Year! Lesley Dawson
