I have recently confirmed the name of SHARYAR as one of my research names and as it is such an unusual name wondered if there was anyone on this list who is researching this name also. There are Carhampton and Old Cleeve connections (all with this same spelling) for 2 generations from mid 1700s till early 1800s . Harriet Sharyar married William Wilkins in Bristol in 1822 but some of their children were baptised in Old Cleeve. Regards Trish

Hi Trish, I've looked in the Bristol & Avon Family History Society Members' Interests http://www.bafhs.org.uk/membership/membershipinterests.htm but couldn't see anyone researching SHARYAR. I've also looked in the rootsweb archives http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/search but can't see a match for this surname. There is, however, a reference to William SHARYAR at the Mermaid, Lewin's Mead on the Bristol's Lost Pubs web site: http://bristolslostpubs.eu/page7.html Josephine -- Josephine Jeremiah www.ianandjo.dsl.pipex.com

November 1822 at Old Cleeve is shown in the Old Cleeve Bpatisms 1813-1830: http://www.wsom.org.uk/Registers/OClevBap18131830.htm William's occupation is shown as joiner. Bristol baptisms of children of William WILKINS, carpenter, and Harriet WILKINS are to be found in the Bristol Diocese Baptismal Registers Vols. 1 to 7 Index & Transcripts 1813-1837. wwww.bafhs.org.uk They include the baptisms of Emma (1826), Lavinia (1828) and Jemima (1830) at St. Mary Redcliffe Church, Bristol. Abode was Redcliff in 1826 and 1830 and Bedminster in 1828. There were also baptisms for children of William and Harriet WILKINS in the church of St. James, Bristol, but at the baptisms of Ephraim (1823) and Selina (1825) the father's occupation was recorded as chimney sweep. Abode at the time of these baptisms was Castle Precincts, Bristol. Perhaps this WILKINS family isn't yours unless you have an Edwin or Selina in your tree.
