Pat A lot of work has been done on children from Bristol who went to Canada by Shirley Hodgson. You can find about it on the website of the Bristol & Avon FHS at www.bafhs.org.uk. Shirley is always looking for more information, and I am sure she would be pleased to hear from you. Bob Lawrence Chairman BAFHS -----Original Message----- From: Pat Marshall [mailto:oldcrone@sympatico.ca] Sent: 06 April 2007 15:28 To: Gloucester Subject: [GLS] APPLEBY I have a Mark Appleby born in Bristol Sept Q of 1861 who was a British Home Child who came to Hastings County, Ontario sometime in 1877. When he married here in 1886, at age 22, he listed his parents as Charles & Elizabeth Appleby. Would anyone be able to locate this Appleby family on any Bristol census data? I found only one marriage in Bristol on BMD for a Chares Appleby & Elizabeth Bines, Mar Q 1847, so they should both appear on the 1851 & 1861 & at least one of them on the 1871 census. I am trying to do an article on the BHC who came to this area for an upcoming book in celebration of my Township's 150th anniversary and any help with this APPLEBY family would be greatly appreciated!
