(Registration district Keynsham, Civil > Parish Bitton) > Piece 361 Folio 45 Page 8 Hi Jan, Thank very much for this information plus the household members. I can now see that the William BRIGHT, aged 56, who was buried on 12th. November 1837 at Holy Trinity Church, Kingswood, GLS, could be a possible husband for Deborah BRIGHT of the 1841 and 1851 censuses. William's abode was recorded as Windmill Hill, at his burial, whereas Deborah was living at Mount Hill in 1841 and 1851. The abode given at the 1832 BRIGHT baptisms for children of this couple at Holy Trinity Church, Kingswood was Mount Hill, too, but I suppose the family have moved between 1832 and 1841 and then moved back again, though I don't know of a Windmill Hill in the vicinity of Kingswood/Oldland. All food for thought, anyway, so thanks again for this 1841 look up especially as it gives a number of the couple's children still living at home. Josephine

Hi Josephine The South Glos Burial Index http://www.bafhs.org.uk/burial-data/burial-index/catalog?letter=j&start=1000 records the burial of a Mary Ann JOY* (sic), aged 10, at Windmill Hill, Kingswood in 1832. I wondered if this may be a mis-transcribed relative of your Deborah JAY Marion > Hi Jan, > > Thank very much for this information plus the household members. > > I can now see that the William BRIGHT, aged 56, who was buried on 12th. > November 1837 at Holy Trinity Church, Kingswood, GLS, could be a possible > husband for Deborah BRIGHT of the 1841 and 1851 censuses. > > William's abode was recorded as Windmill Hill, at his burial, whereas > Deborah was living at Mount Hill in 1841 and 1851. > > The abode given at the 1832 BRIGHT baptisms for children of this couple at > Holy Trinity Church, Kingswood was Mount Hill, too, but I suppose the > family have moved between 1832 and 1841 and then moved back again, though > I don't know of a Windmill Hill in the vicinity of Kingswood/Oldland. > > All food for thought, anyway, so thanks again for this 1841 look up > especially as it gives a number of the couple's children still living at > home. > > Josephine > > > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to > [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' > without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message >

I haven't looked in The South Glos Burial Index yet for JAY, but you could well be right with JOY being a misspelling of JAY as I have seen JOY in other resources in which I have been looking and wondered if the name should be JAY.
