    3. Hi Judy Thanks for your reply. There is a Benjamin Jefferies Waters born c 1797 who i believe is the son of John Waters (c 1763) and Sarah Jefferies. (Sometimes spelt Jefferis). Benjamin had a brother Joseph Jefferies Waters b c1790. This Joseph i am trying to prove is the Joseph who married Elizabeth Moody and had a son John William 1819 who is my husbands 3x great grandfather. I have not been able to find much out about John 1763( I think he may have died young) but his parents were Thomas Waters 1737 and Rachel Iles. Let us know if you require further info. Debbie Waters

Hi Debbie, It looks like Joseph Jefferis WATERS, son of John and Sarah, could have been born at the end of 1789 as his age was recorded as 14 months at the time of his baptism on 23rd. January 1791 at Bitton, GLS. This baptism is included in Bristol Diocese Baptismal Registers Vols. 11 to 14 Index & Transcripts 1754-1812 produced by Bristol & Avon Family History Society. www.bafhs.org.uk It's possible that this Joseph WATERS married Mary Ann HARVEY on 24th. August 1815 at St. Paul's Church, Portland Square, Bristol. I say it's possible because Elizabeth Jefferies WATERS and John TOMPKINS were married on the same day at the same church. These marriages are included in the Index to Bristol Diocese Marriage Registers Vol 8 1813-1837 produced by Bristol & Avon Family History Society. www.bafhs.org.uk Elizabeth WATERS, daughter of John and Sarah, was baptized on 3rd. November 1793 at Hanham, GLS. Hanham is near Bitton. Joseph WATERS and Elizabeth Jefferies WATERS who married on the same day at St. Paul's could have been brother and sister. People from places in the southern part of Gloucestershire often used to get married in Bristol churches. Where did your Joseph WATERS marry Elizabeth MOODY? Josephine --
