Perhaps David also wants information about and pictures of a likely church, where his great-grandfather may have been baptized. In the past, I have bought old postcards of churches in the areas where my families lived in case I found a link with events in my families. If St. Barnabas, which was near James Street, Grosvenor Road, Bristol, is the one, then there are details about this church and pictures of it on the following web page: http://www.churchcrawler.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/bristol3/city_rd.htm -- Josephine Jeremiah www.ianandjo.dsl.pipex.com

Thank you Josephine. I am still not sure that this is the right church but will investigate further. I do indeed like to see where my ancestors were baptised and to obtain a picture if possible.

You might like to see the position of James Street near Grosvenor Road on a 1910 map of Bristol, which is on the following web page: http://contueor.com/baedeker/great_britain/bristol.htm James Street is near the top of 1G on the map, near the junction of Ashley Road and City Road. The church of St. Barnabas was situated in the triangle, shown on the map, between Ashley Road and City Road in IG. If your great-grandfather's birth certificate is from the Sub-district Ashley then this James Street could be the one, where he was born. http://www.ukbmd.org.uk/genuki/reg/districts/clifton.html Josephine -- Josephine Jeremiah www.ianandjo.dsl.pipex.com
