If anyone can help I should be very grateful. Hi Sandra, In my previous message, I mentioned that there were two people called Fortunatus HAGLEY in Bristol in the 18th century. I don't have any more information on the elder Fortunatus, but have some snippets on the younger one. Fortunatus HAGLEY of St. Augustine and Ann LEWIS were married, by licence, on 16th. December 1777, at the church of St. James, Bristol. This marriage is included in the Bristol Diocese Marriage Registers Vol 9 Groom & Bride Indexes & Transcripts 1754-1837, which is produced on CD by Bristol & Avon Family History Society: www.bafhs.org.uk Bristol Volunteers of 1798 First Company -- Fortunatus HAGLEY, Taylor (sic), Orchard Street Josephine -- Josephine Jeremiah www.ianandjo.dsl.pipex.com
I have known the word limner for a long time - as one who draws - using lines to delineate and yes as a prtrait painter. I looked it up to check and it is much earlier - from illumination, the French for that is "enluminure" both verb and noun. I had never before heard of a limner as being iterinerant - but of course he could be! You go where the work is! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limner http://www.google.co.uk/search?sourceid=navclient&aq=1&oq=to+limn&ie=UTF-8&rlz=1T4DAFR_enFR229FR229&q=to+limn+definition Jean > To: bristol_and_somerset@rootsweb.com > From: jojeremiah@dsl.pipex.com > Date: Sat, 15 Jan 2011 20:14:32 +0000 > Subject: [B&S] HAGLEY Fortunatus, marriage, 1777, Bristol Volunteers, 1798 (was John HADLEY and Fortunatus HAGLEY) > > On Sat, 15 Jan 2011 19:12:00 -0000, <sandra.s@ntlworld.com> wrote: > > > After many years of fruitless searching I have recently discovered that > > my direct ancestor Betty HADLEY was the illegitimate daughter of > > Elizabeth VAGG and John HADLEY, a limner of the City of Bristol.

If anyone can help I should be very grateful. Hi Sandra, Fortunatus HAGLEY, Taylor (sic) is listed in the parish of St. Thomas in the 1734 Bristol Poll Book. In this Poll Book, there isn't an entry for John HADLEY but there are entries for two people called HADLEY in the parish of St. Philip & St. Jacob -- Gilbert HADLEY, Gunsmith and Daniel HADLEY, Hallier. This doesn't help much in your quest for John HADLEY in Bristol, but at least you now know that there were people called HADLEY in Bristol in the mid 18th century.

If anyone can help I should be very grateful. Hi Sandra, Fortunatus HAGLEY, Taylor (sic) is listed in the parish of St. Mary Redcliffe in the 1754 Bristol Poll Book. In this Poll Book, there isn't an entry for John HADLEY but there are entries for two people called HADLEY in the parish of St. Philip & St. Jacob -- Daniel HADLEY, Hallier and Caleb HADLEY, Hallier. Perhaps your John HADLEY belonged to this family of halliers. Josephine -- Josephine Jeremiah www.ianandjo.dsl.pipex.com
I am trying to find more information concerning William Browne Born 1791, I believe in Bridgwater, but showing on the 1841 census as living in Richmond Hill, Bristol with his daughters, Fanny 20, Mary 18 and Lucy 16. By 1851 William is not to be found so I am unable to be certain of his birth county. Has anyone access to Trade Directories etc which might give me some clue as to his line of business or indeed any other details. At the time of his daughters' births he was living in Trinity St, St Augustine, Bristol. Many thanks in advance of any help, Janet
Hello list, I have Bernard FOSKETT on my family tree and have considerable information about him. Born in Buckinghamshire, he was a minister and teacher and founded the Baptist College in Bristol and died there 22 Sep 1758. I have recently been going through some 35 year old correspondence about this man and note from one letter that there was an oil painting of Bernard hanging at the college. I would love to be able to see a picture of him, but I am no longer mobile so can't make the long trek to Bristol in order to view it. I dont know what the College is now called although it would appear it still exists. I would like to be able to contact the college to see whether someone could take a photo of it or point me to a publication where his portrait might appear. Can anyone help? Kind regards Sandra
