Hi all Is anyone out there researching the BROWN family from Bisley late 1700s onwards? I'm specifically interested in a Maria BROWN born in Bisley c.1812 She married Jacob SEXTON in Bisley on 2nd Sept 1835. 1. The IGI suggests her father may have been a Thomas BROWN but gives no mother's name. I see there was a Thomas and Lucy BROWN in that area baptising children around that time - but obviously can't jump to conclusions! 2. I have seen a tree for someone else researching the family that seems to suggest Maria's parents were Thomas BROWN and Sarah SMITH - although they could not verify this and did not have any specific data either for Maria's christening or Thomas and Sarah's marriage. I've checked the GFHS site and see the registers seem to only go back to 1813 for Bisley? I assume they do actually go back further than that? or were Bisley people baptised somewhere else prior to that date? I see there are non-conformist baptisms for Bisley going back further - anyone know if there are any Browns on that? I am happy to buy either or both CDs if they might contain my BROWN family - but would appreciate any insight from those that already have them as to whether I might strike lucky?! Any thoughts appreciated, as I'd really like to connect Maria up with her BROWN family. Regards Simone. ________________________________________________________________________ AOL now offers free email to everyone. Find out more about what's free from AOL at AOL.com.

Hi all - sorry to repeat myself. I am assuming due to lack of response that no one on this list is researching the BROWN family I am interested in - c'est la vie! ;-) However, I would very much appreciate any thoughts/replies on my last paragraph relating to the registers/parish areas from anyone who has any knowledge of the Gloucester records available or who has a copy of the CDs mentioned. Thank you! Simone. -----Original Message----- From: sim8ne@aol.com To: gloucester@rootsweb.com Sent: Mon, 12 Mar 2007 10:16 AM Subject: [GLS] BROWN Hi all Is anyone out there researching the BROWN family from Bisley late 1700s onwards?

Hi Simone, According to the LDS Family History Catalogue, there is a microfilm of Bisley Bishops Transcripts 1608-1812 but no parish registers for that period. Perhaps your best bet is to order the film (no 417124) from your local LDS Family History Centre and look through that. Good luck with your BROWNS - it is probably as difficult as my John SMITH, son of John SMITH, son of John SMITH!!!
