Here's an interesting web page, which I came upon by chance. http://genebug.net/glsinquests.htm Gloucestershire Inquests are featured and there are lots of references to people and places in Bristol and neighbourhood. Dates range from 1722 to 1838. I've just searched for Bitton on this page and a number of references have come up. Searching for Oldland, Hanaham and Kingswood also brings up a lot of information, too. -- Josephine Jeremiah www.ianandjo.dsl.pipex.com
