Thank you Josephine for the picture of St Philip and St Jacob church and the baptism details for Louisa BROOKS who was baptised there. May I be so bold as to ask if there are any details of the baptisms of her siblings - Esther, Henry, Mary, William, Benjamin, Isabella, Emily, Edwin and Thomas (between about 1829 and 1849)? Your help is greatly appreciated! Cheers, Ally

Hi Ally, Thanks for your response. I don't have any details of baptisms for the children of William and Esther BROOKS after 1836, but did find one for Giles whom you haven't listed. For every baptism father's occupation was Sawyer. Baptisms at the church of St. Philip & St. Jacob, Bristol: Giles was baptized on 13th. August 1826 at the age of two weeks. Abode was St. Paul. Benjamin was baptized on 14th. October 1827 at the age of three weeks. Abode was St. Paul. Esther was baptized on 30th. November 1828. Abode was St. Paul. Baptisms at the church of St. James, Bristol: Henry was baptized on 8th. April 1832. Abode was St. James. Mary was baptized on 9th. March 1834. Abode was St. James. William was baptized on 14th. February 1836. Abode was St. James. These baptisms are included on the Bristol Diocese Baptismal Registers Vols 1 to 7 Index and Transcripts 1813-1837, which is available on CD from Bristol & Avon Family History Society. www.bafhs.org.uk When I get a picture of the church of St. James on my web page of Bristol churches, I'll let you know. I do have an old print of it, but haven't got around to scanning it yet.
