Hi Maureen, I've just checked the CD of Nonconformist Baptismal Registers in Bristol Record Office 1754 to 1837, but there is no record of the baptisms of Hannah WALKER or John RIPPON. Hopefully, one day, something will turn up to break down these two brick walls. Josephine -- Josephine Jeremiah www.ianandjo.dsl.pipex.com

Many thanks for that info. At least I know where not to look. This pair are so aggravating as their wedding papers were the first thing I retrieved from the trunk in the old family home - they actually got me started on genealogy. My other lines have progressed (regressed?) successfully over time. Oh well! What would I do with myself if I found them all?
