Thanks Bernice I've seen conflicting reports of where Ware's Gardens was. One says it ran North from Beehive Lane, but the 1861 ED description suggests it was south-west of Beehive Lane. It would be good to find a map clearly showing it. best wishes Mike -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]]On Behalf Of bernice pegler Sent: 26 July 2012 21:22 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [B&S] Ware's Gardens, St Paul, Bristol Hi Mike My grandfather is shown as a 2 year old at Ware's Gardens in 1871 with his parents John and Mary Ann Floyd. They may have known your ancestor Edward Andrews. When trying to find Ware's Gardens some years ago I noted that it was near Newfoundland Gardens and the next place the enumerator went to was Beehive Lane. These places were long gone before my 1960s map of Bristol was printed. I notice Josephine has said an alternative spelling for Ware's Gardens was Weare's Gardens but I can't pinpoint that place either. I believe there was a place called The Weir at the bottom of Newfoundland Street where the River Frome runs into Bristol but this may be a red herring.

Hi Mike I've been trying to find some old maps online but no luck so far with this one.
