PS: Agnes Blake's report card was dated 23/12/23 and she had been in school for 10 years. "Agnes is an intelligent willing trustworthy girl and never later." Signed by Wm. E. Braund Barleyfields Mixed Council School. Edna - Ottawa

Yes my Mum (Agnes Blake 1909-1992) was a student at Barleyfields School. I still have her report card somewhere here. It stated one thing that Mum was always proud of -- she was never late. And that is true. W. E. Braund was the master there at that time. Good memory, Josephine.

In 1911 the master was W. E. Braund and the infants' mistress was Miss Hurford. I believe it was called Barleyfields Mixed County School.

Hi Marjorie, People think of the Workhouse as a dreadful place, but for some members of the community, it did provide a useful service. Henry would have been fed and possibly clothed by the Workhouse - it wasn't necessarily such a bad life. The intent was to make it a bad place for those who could work but didn't choose to. The (local) government wanted to crack down on the scroungers - nothing changes, does it ! But Henry and others would receive more sympathetic treatment. I don't believe there was any "official" requirement for inmates to be baptised as a condition of admission, but local vicars, or perhaps the Workhouse Master, may have excerted pressure for it to happen. As to why the parents hadn't baptised him at birth, I can only speculate. Perhaps they thought he wouldn't survive beyond infancy and couldn't afford the cost of a baptism. Was he baptised at the same time as one of his siblings ? That often happened, since vicars could do a "two for the price of one" deal.

He seems to have lived almost his whole life in the Clutton Workhouse appearing in census 1851-1911. He was with his family, age 6, in 1841.

He was born about 1835 in Radstock but not baptised until 19 April 1837 in St Nicholas Church, Radstock. His siblings were all baptised soon after birth but his baptism entry says he was 5 years old.

Hi Lynne, The City of Bristol Workhouse was at Stapleton, not to be confused with Eastville Workhouse, which served the Barton Regis area. Although little by way of records has survived, an exception is some Creed Registers. These record admission and discharge dates, with the religious denomination of the inmates. But before I get your hopes up, I'm not sure whether they go back to the period you need. I've extracted information from the 1890's, but you could check with the Bristol Record Office (mailto:bro@bristol.gov.uk) which dates are covered. As far as I can see, they are not listed in the On-line Catalogue. If you manage to find out the dates covered by the surviving Creed Registers, can I ask that you post the information to the list, as I'm sure many would find the information useful.

Hiya. Have done everything you said, have got some random e-mails back from 2007. Tomorrow I have more time and will do it again like you say and see what turns up. Short of time today but it obviously works so will keep trying. Unfortunately the e-mails are not from the family names, but retreval is obviously possible yipee. Thanks. Will let you know how I get on via your own e-mail address or may be accused of this being off - subject. Many thanks Deana. ----- Original Message ----- From: "John M" <JHWM1@btconnect.com> To: <bristol_and_somerset@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, October 19, 2010 2:44 PM Subject: Re: [B&S] Josephine's dead Acorn! > Afternoon Deena > Once you've located a pst file (and you may also find them in eg > 'windowsold' folder, then open outlook express and on the file tab at the > top left of the screen click 'import export', select import from another > program or file, next, personal folder .pst, next, then in the file name > box > click browse to the left until you select the address that you found your > .pst folder in. > Then, next, and you should in a min see the old e mails being reloaded > into > outlook express etc. > > If it's too jam packed then on the top file menu select archive and set > the > date to the most recent date you want to keep current and then let it > archive.

Thank you so much for posting it. I almost felt as though I was there in some of the places featured. It's definitely a site to return to again and again.

I have been searching Google Books for the names of my ancestors and have turned up some interesting snippets. Some of my ancestors appear in The Poll at the Election of a Knight of the shire for the County of Gloucester ...1776. http://books.google.com/books?id=EN8HAAAAQAAJ&pg=PR1&dq=%22THe+Poll+at+the+Election+of+a+Knight+of+the+Shire+for+the+County+of+Gloucester%22&hl=en&ei=1uS-TNubJ9CU4gaD--W6AQ&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=3&ved=0CDQQ6AEwAg#v=onepage&q&f=false This book includes places in Barton Regis Hundred such as Clifton, Mangotsfield, St. Philip & St. Jacob, St. James Easton and Stapleton. Other Gloucestershire Hundreds in the B & S area are Henbury Hundred, Pucklechurch Hundred, Thornbury Hundred and Langley and Swineford Hundred. The latter Hundred includes places such as Bitton, Oldland and Hanham. It's well worth a look and I have certainly found some new information there.

The fact that this Thomas HAYMAN was born in Hanover and not in Bristol would fit the 1841 Bristol census information that my Thomas HAYMAN was not born in county. > He was pensioned in 1804 after losing a leg in Saint Domingo.

Thank you for this as the date of 1804 rules out this man being my Thomas HAYMAN because my ancestor was married at Pip & Jay in Bristol in 1797 and his occupation was recorded as brass smelter at the baptisms of five of his children children at Pip & Jay between 1797 and 1808. I thought that he may have either been in the army before his marriage or after his children were born. However, the Thomas HAYMAN, whom you have found is likely to have been the one who was examined at the trial of Charles PINNEY in 1832, so that's interesting. > I can send you scans of the papers as attachments if you new PC is up to > receiving such. They contain a description of Thomas. Thanks for your kind offer, but there is no need to do so as, going by the information you've given me, the Thomas HAYMAN who was a Chelsea Pensioner is not my ancestor. But it was interesting to see what information is available and the birthplace of Hanover certainly gave me food for thought for a while! Josephine -- Josephine Jeremiah www.ianandjo.dsl.pipex.com
