Hi List A friend just alerted me to a resource I was unaware of on the Familysearch web site, where there are lots of old books of interest to genealogists which are freely downloadable. Apologies if you already know about this. Go to https://familysearch.org/#form=books Click on the green button “Family History books” Key ‘Bristol’ for search term and see what you get – 7,248 results! Even better try the parish name you are looking for. If you then click on DETAILS it tells you more about each on, or click on the image and it will load up into a viewer from which you can save to hard drive. I downloaded the parish register for St Mary Magdalen Bermondsey last night! Of course you are just lucky if your parish is there. Here’s a few Bristol titles: The Annals of Bristol in the Seventeenth Century The Defendant’s fist many blows did strike: The Rev John Usher of Bristol, RI, vs Capt Simeon Potter of Bristol , RI 1761 (what on earth is that about?!) Chilcott’s Descriptive History of Bristol.... Transactions of the Bristol Archeological Society (several) Notes or abstracts of the wills contained in the volume entitle the great orphan book of wills in the council house of Bristol The parish registers of Marshfield Gloucester have fun searching!
