Hello, I have some ancestors who according to BMD records were from Bristol. In a BMD article in the Bristol Mercury the death notice says of "Old-King Street" of this city. Now I have been trying to "google" and check out some "old maps" and I come up with Old King Street, BATH. Now I did check a map and found Bath is not that far from Bristol. What I am wondering is if there used to be an "Old King Street" in Bristol in the mid 1850s or is it more likely that we are actually talking Bath?? Thank you Regards, Pat Wade (Nee King)
