Hi Marilyn Yes - Charlton was the village (more of a hamlet, really) that was mostly destroyed when Filton airfield was extended so that the Brabazon could take off and land. I believe that it was mostly in Henbury parish.

Thanks to Doug Thompson who mailed me this morning with one of my stray Hulberts- Samuel HULBERT born Hawkesbury Upton 1822, mysteriously missing (as is Winterbourne) from my copy of Gordon's CD. The record lists his baby George HULBERT as born in Charlton (no county - therefore GLS?. Using MultiMaps web page, I find many Charltons, but none in Glos. My dad remembers a story that a village was destroyed when they built the "Brabazon runway" at Filton Airport, and he thinks this was called Charlton - can anyone confirm or deny this?
