Hi Over 10 years ago, my first web project was to list all the Mayors, Lord Mayors and Sheriffs of Bristol on my 'free website' provided by my ISP. This 'exercise' was completed in about 2001. It is still available at: http://www.davenapier.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/. The listing differs slightly from the official version of Mayors literally carved in tablets of stone around the wall of the Bristol Council House, my two sources were:- "History & Antiquities of Bristol" by William Barrett and 'Annals of Bristol Vols 1 to 3' by John Latimer. Some time ago I also started to enhanced the Mayors & Sheriffs section of my website by building a biography page when I had additional information about a particular Mayor or Sheriff. This section has recently grown significantly because I was shown a book called Bristol Biographies produced in about 1897 which included a number of these worthies complete with pictures.... so I thought some of you might be interested in having a look. Regards Dave

Dene, I don't know if this will be any help at all, but on the Gloucestershire Marriage Index, there are these marriages at Hempsted for female ROBERTS: 19 May 1835 John SESSIONS & Eliza ROBERTS, both of Littleworth, 31 December 1832 Ezekiel HOOPER & Ann ROBERTS, both of Littleworth 3 July 1815 Edward TOWNSEND & Ann ROBERTS, both of Littleworth, 6 May 1828 John PAGETT & Elizabeth ROBERTS, both of Littleworth 4 April 1814 William PRICE & Hannah ROBERTS, both of Littleworth 20 November 1827 Richard PARK &Harriet ROBERTS, both of Littleworth 2 February 1829 Henry MAY & Keziah ROBERTS, both of Littleworth 15 May 1828 James MATTHEWS & Lydia ROBERTS, both of Littleworth 12 May 1834 Joseph WHITTON & Mary ROBERTS, both of Littleworth 19 December 1814 William WOOD & Mary ROBERTS, both of Littleworth 21 April 1834 William GRAFTON & Patience ROBERTS, both of Littleworth 1 November 1813 Thomas CLEVELE & Sarah ROBERTS, both of Littleworth 21 October 1822 Benjamin TOMNEY & Sarah ROBERTS, both of Littleworth Then these for male ROBERTS: 12 April 1828 Benjamin ROBERTS & Ann HINTS, both of Littleworth 4 March 1811 Charles ROBERTS & Mary DAUGH, both of Littleworth 12 November 1834 Edward ROBERTS & Mary HAWKINS, both of Littleworth 17 October 1825 Henry ROBERTS & Elizabeth MASON, both of Littleworth 13 February 1832 James John ROBERTS & Honour ALDRIDGE, both of Littleworth 17 February 1818 John ROBERTS & Frances Rebe HAVILAND, both of Littleworth 10 March 1817 Richard ROBERTS & Mary TOMBS, both of Littleworth 6 February 1831 Thomas ROBERTS & Elizabeth HALE, both of Littleworth 28 October 1827 William ROBERTS & Hannah HOLLIS, both of Littleworth 15 April 1829 William ROBERTS & Martha THOMAS, both of Littleworth Given that William is described as a Master Iron Founder and was an employer, did he perhaps leave a will which might help with clues as to his parentage. Are any of the above names used in the naming of William & Elizabeth's children which might therefore give you a clue as to Elizabeth's parentage? I think you will also have to consult the parish records of both Stroud and Littleworth to progress further back.

After a meandering search that lead me to London and Weybridge, I finally found my line of Stow on the Wold HAYWARDs came from much closer to home - in Temple Guiting (there is a connection to Weybridge as well). My 5x great grandfather Leonard Hayward b. abt 1715 was a son of Robert Hayward and ?Mary Comfeele (IGI marriage). Robert Hayward's PCC will (1743/4) records him leaving legacies for the following children: Robert Hayward Richard Hayward George Hayward Elizabeth Andrews, wife of Revd Thomas Andrews of Ebrington Leonard Hayward William Hayward (mentioned but no bequest, may have died) The IGI records six children Christened at Temple Guiting Rebeckah Hayward, b. 22 June 1697, Chr. 27 Jun 1697 Alice Hayward, b. 17 Jul 1698, Chr 1 Aug 1698, d. 26 Feb 1713 Elizabeth Hayward, Chr. 26 Nov 1699 Will Hayward, b. 19 Jan 1701, Chr. 29 Jan 1701 Mary Hayward, Chr. 13 Jun 1703, d. 5 Mar 1713 Robert Hayward, Chr. 9 Nov 1704 I would be interested in contacting others with this research interest.

Hi, I wonder if someone could help me with my brick walls: -- William GILL consistently indicates a birth in STROUD abt. 1807 at Census Returns. He married Elizabeth ROBERTS b. abt. the same time in LITTLEWORTH. I don't know when or where and have no information about Elizabeth at all.. I hey settled firstly in Lambeth where their son JOHN was born abt. 1828. Subsequently, they lived and worked in LIMEHOUSE where all their subsequent children were born. William was an Ironfounder, employing 4 men. The 1841 Census showed another child called John in the household but this could have been a mistake. His age was, apparently, 15yrs. After Elizabeth's death, William lived with one of his Sons. The family must have kept in touch with their Gloucestershire roots as two of their sons married sisters Hannah & Selina Gardner, daughters of Paul Hawkins Gardner and wife Maria (Carter?). I believe they were from Minchinhampton. With thanks in advance if anyone can help me. Dene

Hi, I have hit a BIG brick wall in trying to find out when and where James RUSSELL was born I know that James' father was Richard RUSSELL. (marriage certificate) I have tried to track James down in the 1841-1891 Census and he gives a variety of POB including Stowe in the Wold (1881) Barton GLOUCESTERSHIRE (1891) Barton Warwickshire (1871) MArton Warwickshire (1861) Gloucester STOWE (1851)? I am sure it is the same person as I am able to Trace family members. In 1840 James RUSSELL married Ann BARNWELL. On the marriage certificate James states he is living in QUINTON GLOUCESTERSHIRE This is the earliest record I have of James ? Are there any records that would be available for searching where I might be able to find out where James was living in 1840 in Quinton? I am hoping that I might be able to find him with other family members which might help me track down his birth details. Failing this can anyone suggest where I might start in trying to find James' birth details Any help and/or suggestions would be greatly appreciated Regards Matt Australia ________________________________________________________________________ Get a FREE AOL Email account with unlimited storage.

Hilary, You will only find the GAME Lists in whatever paper was the main edition for Gloucestershire. Bristol will not have a seperate list, not on my understanding anyway. Try putting the name [name only, nothing else] you are researching into Gale and then check every entry. It should come up in a Game List if your bloke had a Licence. If he didn't apply for a Licence then he will not show up.
