Hello, I'm new to this particular list. I have several people by this surname or variations who had christenings and marriages at St Phillip and St Jacob's in Bristol in the early 1700s. I am uncertain as to whether they were from Somerset or Gloucester as no mention of a village was given on Family Search. I have found the marriage of my Elisha JAMES to Hester WELLICK on June 16, 1742 at this church. In addition there are John and Richard WELLICK who married there in the 1720s and who could be of the age to be Hester's father. Both men have children also named Richard so there is a strong possibility that Richard senior is their father. Any help in sorting this out would be greatly appreciated!

I am looking at a Mary SOUTHCOTT who was tried at the Gloucester Quarter Sessions for theft in Oct 1841 and sentenced to 7 years transportation (and 3 weeks in solitude). I believe that her case is reported in the Gloucester Journal of 2 Oct 1841. She sailed on the Royal Admiral. According to a book on Gloucestershire Transportees published by The Bristol & Gloucestershire Archealogical Society she was from Charlton Kings but in the records available online from the Archives Office of Tasmania she was from Goodridge in Herefordshire. Could someone check her offence as given on http://search.archives.tas.gov.au/ImageViewer/image_viewer.htm?CON15-1-2,340,39,F,23 She's the 4th entry from the top and the piece I'm having difficulty with is the last column on the right I think it says: (it uses abreviations for transported and stealing) Transported for stealing a ring and a florin from ----------- a Surgeon, Gloster Does anyone have access to the Gloucester Journal 2 Oct 1841 who could check her case for me? Thank you Pat

Hi Jim, In the Bristol Poll Book of 1734 there is an entry, in St. Philip & St. Jacob, for Richard WELLOCK, Freeholder. Josephine -- Josephine Jeremiah www.ianandjo.dsl.pipex.com

Hi Jim, There is reference to the will of Richard WELLICK 1736 in 'A Calendar of Wills proved in the Consistory Court (City and Deanery of Bristol Division) of the Bishop of Bristol 1572-1792', which was edited by Edward Alexander Fry and published in 1897.
