Hi Nancy, the book is called “Stories from St Phillip’s – A Trilogy of Local History” by Ian S Bishop. It’s great for general Bristol History too, lots of anecdotes, very readable. i picked it up in a second hand book store here in NZ after having seen it online lots of times. Re the census, we’ll have to wait n see if someone knows something about them!

My people were in that parish for many, many years ... I think I'd like to read that book ... also, I'd love to find those earlier censuses too ... So if there's any information, it would be appreciated in the US too. Thanks, Nancy Lange Auburn, California Searching for Sheat, Scrase/Scrace in Bristol -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of [email protected] Sent: Monday, August 20, 2012 5:27 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [B&S] Bristol Census Prior to 1841 Hi everyone, I'm reading a book on St Phillips & Jacob area at present and it mentions the censuses taken in Bristol starting in 1801 and every ten years thereafter. So what happened to these early pre-1841 censuses? Do they exist still somewhere? is the information in them too crude to be useful perhaps? Maybe they are available through mormon Family history libraries on film. Any information would be great!
