Hi Dave, Thank you for the link to your website with the Mayors of Bristol. However, I would like to make a small correction; the Mayor in 1721 was my ancestor John BECHER [definitely not BELCHER!]. His name was sometimes also spelt Beecher. I do have a picture of him and further information if you are interested. >From Jenny http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~becher/index.htm ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dave Napier" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, November 28, 2008 11:37 PM Subject: [GLS] Bristol Mayors & Sheriffs > 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.
