Title: Bristol look up request
Post by: john2o2o on Saturday 09 April 11 13:13 BST (UK)
I wonder if someone would be kind enough to help me?

I am searching in Bristol for Thomas Sweet born 1760-1775. I have found one on the IGI, but I'm not sure it's the right one and it is my understanding that the IGI for Bristol is defective anyway. Can anyone check the CD for me to see if there are any more Thomas'?

I would also like to find the marriage of Samuel Sweet to Martha circa 1818 in the Bristol area if possible.

My very grateful thanks in advance.

Are you referring to Thomas Sweet who appears on 1841 census with Wife Lucy and is born c 1771?
He Married Lucy BIRD 10 Set 1792, St George, Bristol, Glous
They have a SAMUEL Christened to them 08 Feb 1795, same Church

Familysearch Pilot has this one;
Thomas SWEET christened 02 January 1774, Temple Church, Bristol, Gloucester to JOSEPH/MARY

Hi

I have checked the Bristol & Avon FHS baptisns CD and can confirn there is a recorded baptism for Thomas SWEET 2nd Jan 1774 (aged 5 months). Parents - Joseph & Mary SWEET at Temple Church, Bristol. No further details recorded.
Hope this helps.

Many thanks, Jim

I am guessing that this is the right family but take it there is no reference to Sarah Ann ?
Are you able to say whether or not there is any baptism for her elsewhere in Bristol ?

Cheers

Michael
