Hi Amanda, Browsing through Sketchley's Bristol Directory of 1775, I came upon an address which may be of interest to you. A widow with the surname DALE was at 3, Gillam's-court, St. James's-street. Perhaps the name of this court was connected with the GILLAM family whom you are researching. Josephine

Hi Amanda and Listers, I expect you have already seen the page about cholera in Bristol with reference to Gillam's-court, Amanda. Some listers may be interested in information about cholera in St. Paul, St. James, St. Augustine, Clifton, Ashley, St. George, St. Philip & St. Jacob, Westbury and Stapleton in the mid 19th century. This information can be found here: http://pds.lib.harvard.edu/pds/view/8278007?n=392 Josephine

Thanks Josephine, I shall add it to the list of addresses to look up! I have seen it a few times and wondered how the name came about. I have yet to find the next generation before Benjamin, Cornelius and Joseph GILLAM – not sure even if i am even going to try to find them, as much as i want to!!!! Only because they are side-tracking me from other families I really should be concentrating on! But it’s always interesting finding new families in Bristol, especially rich ones because they left so many more records behind than anyone else.
