Has anyone come across this lot? George Shield bapt 1781 Olveston, married Mary. Samuel Shield b 1785 Tockington, married Martha. William Shield b 1787 Almondsbury, married Ann. Elizabeth Shield b 1790 Almondsbury, d 1870 Almondsbury. Ann Shield b 1794 Almondsbury. Isaac Shield bapt 1797 Almondsbury, married Sarah. John Shield b 1800 Olveston, married Ann Cordie. I have a feeling they may all be the children of George Shield (1752-1835) and Elizabeth Britton (1758-1831) who married at Olveston in 1778, but how do I prove it? Sue Stead

Many of the public libraries in the US are able now to get LDS information in a way. It's not all available.

Perhaps your best bet is to order the film (no 417124) from your local LDS Family History Centre and look through that.

Dear Glisters, Wiltsers, I trust that the respective List owners will forgive my double posting to two county lists in one? It's just that my surnames do not stay in one county! My WITCHELL forebears dwelled (dwelt?) in both GLS & WIL. The other three surnames just happen to link to Frances WITCHELL who married Edward Bayliff LITTLE. EBL was the son of Edward and Elizabeth (née BAYLIFFE) LITTLE. Elizabeth BAYLIFFE was the daughter of Henry BAYLIFFE and Mary ELY. Henry BAYLIFFE was the son of George Searle BAYLIFFE & Mary MERREWEATHER. That explains the link of the four surnames. My WARN family in Tetbury (brewers for over 20 decades) married thrice into the WITCHELL family also brewers, but also carpenters & Ironmongers of Tetbury,. Now I believe that an Alan Merryweather was connected with the GFHS and lives (lived) in Ciren? I'd sure love to hear from any one who links into any of these families. [ I'm still collecting all WITCHELL names from the West Country, BTW. Thank you Phil Phil Warn ô¿ô Genealogists do it backwards Family Historians take all steps "The Warn family in Tetbury from 1722" <http://homepage.ntlworld.com/philwarn/FamHist1/index.htm>

Hi Joan and Judith and the rest of you. So far my research indicates that my Beards came from Thornbury and surrounding area. John Beard (born about 1797) was sentenced to seven years transportation to New South Wales in 1837. His death certificate gives his father's name as Brice Beard, however, I think that the name given for his mother is an error (it is his second wife's name, Harriett Courner). His indent papers state that he was married and a Quaker on his arrival. I have been told that there is a record in the GFHS marriage index of a marriage between John Beard and Ann Lury in the Quaker church at Olveston in 1825. I think that the convict (my great great grandfather) was probably the son of Brice Beard and Sarah Lovelace who married in Thornbury in 1791. They had eleven children. John Beard and Harriett Courner named their only son Samuel John Brice Beard. The name Brice (or Bryce) was also given to the next generation. John Beard died in Bathurst in 1863 and his gravestone and death certificate records his name as John Ulton Beard. Perhaps the name Ulton gives a clue to his origins. One of the grandsons was John Ulton Brice Beard. Any information that you can give would be gratefully received.

Hi Simone Bisley was a parish in its own right. The parish registers for Bisley begin in 1547 and are held at Gloucestershire Archives in Gloucester. The Gloucestershire Family History Society has produced indexes for Burials (1813 to 1851) and marriages (1800-1837) which have been available for some time. In the very near future, a CD of Baptisms will also be available covering the period from 1813 to 1837. These three CDs will cover the area of Gloucestershire which was in the Gloucester Diocese - i.e. not those parishes in the south of the county which fell in the Bristol Diocese.
