"NORTON-MALREWARD, a parish in the hundred of Chew, county Somerset, 4 miles S. of Bristol. Pensford is its post town. The parish, which is of small extent, consists principally of four extensive farms, and contains the extra parochial place of Norton- Hawkfield, or Hautville." -- Roy Stockdill Genealogical researcher, writer & lecturer Newbies' Guide to Genealogy & Family History: www.genuki.org.uk/gs/Newbie.html "There is only one thing in the world worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about."

Thank you Roy. I always check on Genuki as well. There are so many small parishes in the vicinity. I do know that there were some baptisms for earlier members of the family in Chew Magna. I was hoping that someone just might have a fiche of the missing years for Chew Magna. Of course, they might well have had an argument with the vicar of Chew Magna as the parents went into Bristol to get married so the children could have been baptised anywhere Liz www.btinternet.com/~e.newbery OPC for Street, Somerset ----- Original Message ----- From: "Roy Stockdill" <[email protected]> >>From a page at GENUKI..... > > "NORTON-MALREWARD, a parish in the hundred of Chew, county Somerset, 4 > miles > S. of Bristol.
