Hi Josephine Regardless of what the legal case is at any point in time and with all due respect to Stans post Over many years it seems that many thousands of people considered that they were born in Bristol, Somerset So I can well understand someone entering Bristol Somerset in a family bible, even if it never was, its how they thought of it Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) > > Hi Sandy, > > Your family once lived in Bedminster, across the River Avon from Bristol, > and Bedminster used to be in the county of Somerset so that may be why > Somerset was written in your family Bible. > > The matter of Somerset and Bristol and Bristol being a City and a County > has been discussed on this list before: > > When a question was asked if Bristol was in both Somerset and > Gloucestershire, Stan Mapstone sent a reply to the list, on 3rd.

Hi Sandy, Your family once lived in Bedminster, across the River Avon from Bristol, and Bedminster used to be in the county of Somerset so that may be why Somerset was written in your family Bible. The matter of Somerset and Bristol and Bristol being a City and a County has been discussed on this list before: When a question was asked if Bristol was in both Somerset and Gloucestershire, Stan Mapstone sent a reply to the list, on 3rd. November 2006, which may help clarify the matter. This can be found in the Bristol_and_Somerset archives here: http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/bristol_and_somerset/2006-11/1162573314 Josephine

If my experience is anything to go on I suspect that more than a few true Bristolians are a little geographically challenged as well :-) Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) > Various assignments were made at various periods for various purposes. > It's no wonder people are confused about where they live, especially if > they are not true Bristolians. :) >

> Bristol is a City and County in in its own right. Up to a point. Adminstratively parts of it have "belonged" to Gloucestershire and Somerset, the former north of the Avon, the latter south of the river. Bedminster, for example, was officially Somerset although also being known as Bristol. Various assignments were made at various periods for various purposes.

Hi Sandy Whilst Bristol may not be in Somerset, a great many people appear to think that it was (and is to some extent) Many records state Bristol Somerset as a birth place for example Whilst a few might be put down to ignorance there are so many that it was and probably still is thought that Bristol is in Somerset As an example, in the 1911 census (where the schedules were filled in my the householder and not transcribed) there are over 23,000 people giving Bristol Somerset as their birth place So for those of many years past such as your grandmother, without the internet to check such things its not surprising they thought that was the case Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On 08/01/2014 18:51, Sandy Gianni wrote: > I've wondered if Bristol had been in Somerset.

I wondered if the first name of the bride was really Lettice or Letitia. I looked up her possible baptism and found that Lettuce TANNER, daughter of Edward and Elizabeth, was baptized on 25th. October 1807 at Mangotsfield, GLS. So it looks like her name could have been Lettice, but was spelt Lettuce in the baptism record. Two other children with the same parents, Peter and Jane, were also baptized on the same day. Josephine

Hello Listers I have decided to give Emmanuel Harris and rest for a while and concentrate on his wife Susan’s family. Susan SHEPPARD was born about 1830 in Mangotsfield. She married Emmanuel HARRIS in 1854. He ‘disappeared’ and she married James Hale in 1870 describing herself as a widow. She died in 1900 at Bristol Workhouse, Eastville. I have a copy of her Death Certificate and the informant was my great grandmother Alice Power (nee Harris). Her father was John SHEPPARD a mason born in Mangotsfield about 1806. There were two John SHEPPARDS born in Mangotsfield around that time and I don’t know which one he was! Consequently I am unable to trace back any further at present. John SHEPPARD married Latio (variously spelled latio, Latia, Lettia) in 1824 at St. James Church (was this Bristol or Mangotsfield. The B&AFHS Marriage Index gives the number 312 172 514. They are described OTP. The 1841 Census shows John and Latia (another spelling) living in Mangotsfield Street, Mangotsfield with their children, including Susan Sheppard. The 1851 Census shows Latia but no Susan and no John. Latia describes herself as married. I can find no record of the deaths of either John or Latia Sheppard (or Shepherd) and no mention of them in any later Census records. I believe that Latio Tanner was the daughter of Edward Tanner and Elizabeth Howell both of Mangotsfield. I would appreciate any assistance that would lead me to fill in the gaps of my research and perhaps extend further back. Kind Regards Millie

Hi all, I totally agree with sentiments on the ungrateful nature of some people who engage in Family History. The rude ones clearly are made that way and have no concept of the unspoken etiquette we all adhere to; saying 'thank you' and not making living persons details public, or using other people's research without permission/awknowledgement. I too have come across such people, but I have also come across some remarkably generous people - including the gentleman who sent me a package containing copies of my Great grandfather's World War One Army records. He was in fact entirely unknown to me, and sent it at his own expense out of the goodness of his heart. You can imagine how it made me feel. I like to think that in the world of Family History, such generosity outweighs the ungrateful. After all, we have one of our own, her name's Josephine....;)!

I know how things are when you have an old computer hope you can get the newer one working well again soon. Haven't done much lately other things have kept me from doing our addiction ( Family History). Still some gaps in the Chidgey family some of the sibling info needs tracking down, but have found more Randall info most of the census with the help of you and other and did make contact with a distant Chidgey line. Still haven't answered my question why John and Louisa went to London to be married? Their 3 eldest children were born in London and their other 6 in Gloucestershire and Wiltshire. Well that's as what the censuses list. Health things in my family have taken lots of my time with medical appointments for the whole family and my mum health has been very bad over the last couple of years and I had to also take her for lots of medical appointments. Things we getting harder for her in her home so last year we sold the family home of 43 yrs (since being in Aust.) The house bought her a nice unit in a retirement village a little close to us. She now has vascular disease, artery blocked in her legs and bad arthritis in both hands. Making things very hard for her but this was the closest she would except to a nursing home (which is really what she needs) still living independently but means a lot on my shoulders and i have health problems too. You wouldn't think that I have siblings but i do though 2 live in the country and cry time poor and the other doesn't have a car or public transport near to her and mum. Cheryl stop complaining!

Hi Josephine Thank you for looking. I have tried looking for a baptism using James as his fathern which I tend to believe as his eldest son was named James who unfortunately died in 1828 but Henry again named his last child as James. I have tried looking at early trade directories for a Beard Gunsmith named James without success. I am sure he will surface at some time. A Henry Beard married a Francis Harden 20th December, 1807 at St. Martins, Salisbury, Wilts. but have not found any children for them and my Henry and Frances were having children from 1815 to 1833 but will try a post on a Wiltshire board.

Hi Tony, I looked in the B & A FHS marriages for Somerset 1754-1837 and for Bristol 1754-1812 and 1813-1837 for a marriage between a Henry Beard and a Frances. I also looked in the Gloucestershire Marriage Index 1800-1837, but had no result. Perhaps Henry used another forename when he married the first time. Unfortunately there are a lot of Beard entries and on two of the CDs the brides' names are not included in the groom's index, so that searching for a Beard who married a Frances would mean looking through all the Beard entries in the different parishes. Even if a Beard, with a different forename, who married a Frances, was found in this way, the bride and groom might not be the couple you are researching.

CHIDGEY is an unusual name, but I think I recall the name from my youth. It's likely that I went to school with someone with that name, but I can't recall anything about him other than the surname. But I do recall that the father your Louisa CHIDGEY was recorded as a mason at her baptism on 12th. September 1824 at the church of St. James, Bristol. I've come across the surname CHIDGEY in the B & A FHS Bristol Apprenticeship Books Vols 1(o) to 1 (z) Index & Transcripts 1724-2009. Henry CHIDGEY, whose father was James CHIDGEY, mason, of Bristol, was apprenticed to George JONES, mason, on 1st. August 1812. (George's wife was Hannah) If you don't already have these two CHIDGEYs who were masons, they may fit in your tree somewhere. And here's another CHIDGEY mason, whom you probably have but nothing ventured nothing gained: Robert CHIDGEY, mason, Horfield-lane, was in the First Company of the Bristol Volunteers in 1798. He was listed in the following: The Rise, Progress & Military Improvement of the Bristol Volunteers with an Alphabetical List of the Officers and Privates correctly arranged by James Brown, Serj. of the 10th Comp. published by W. Matthews, at No. 62, Broadmead, 1798. Some information about the Bristol volunteers is on the following web page: http://fishponds.org.uk/revwar.html Josephine

I've wondered if Bristol had been in Somerset. Thank you. This is the way it was written in my grandmother's family Bible. We'll never know how it was that she thought that, I guess. Grandma was the only daughter and her mother was older when Grandma was born. Oh, the questions we would ask NOW that we didn't even know we had when we were younger. Most of us are too busy learning to live life when we are younger to even think of asking these questions. My grandmothers both died within a couple of years of my own marriage. And our children are too busy to really pay attention to what I am learning. The cycle of life...

Bristol is a City and County in in its own right. Elizabeth Sarah STRATFORD, the daughter of Edmund and Elizabeth, was baptized, at the age of 17 weeks, on 6th. May 1810 at the church of St. Philip & St. Jacob, Bristol so it is likely that she was born in that Bristol parish. At that time, the county of Somerset was on the other side of Bristol's River Avon.
