Subject: MANLEY Birth 1865q1 look-up please Please would someone be kind enough to look-up the birth/baptism of Albert Edward MANLEY, which according to FreeBMD took place in Bristol in the March quarter of 1865 - Volume 6A Page 19. His parents, Thomas and Lucy Ann Manley had eleven surviving children, all born and baptized in Wrexham, Denbighshire - actually not all, because Albert Edward's baptism is missing from the records held at St.Giles Parish Church, Wrexham. Both Wrexham and North Wales BMD records show Albert's birth in 1867 where there's just a 66 week gap between adjacent siblings, so someone got short-changed. After seeing the FreeBMD record mentioning Bristol and knowing Lucy-Ann Luck was born 21 Jan 1835 in Clifton, her father Daniel died in 1865q2 in Birminham, her mother Caroline died in 1878q3 aged 82 in Wrexham, I'm speculating that Lucy Ann might have been visiting her Mum or else another relative in Bristol, when she gave birth to Albert. Thomas Manley was described on his children's baptism records as a Spirit Merchant in 1860 and 1862 and a Wine Merchant on 29 October 1865, 1866 and 1868. Perhaps he was in Bristol for business reasons. My mother told me perhaps 50 or 60 years ago, that 'Uncle' Albert suffered a disabling back injury while working on a distant island with a wine & spirits company. My grandmother had lots of 'tropical' sea-shells that I played with as a young child. Thanks, Tony in White Rock, BC, Canada
