In your post on the Somerset board - you say he was in Somerset. Where does the information re: Bermondsey and Somerset come from?

Hi, his Death cert in New Zealand states he was from Somerset.But knowing the families in the area in NZ I suspect he may have been from Bermondsey and part of my ancestry.
Thanks for your help

There is a burial I can see for William Cole Bryant
8 July 1849 at Bermondsey St James age 62 which would put his birth year about 1787 ? Does this sound right for your William ??
There is also a Christening for a Wm Bryant Cole Bryant
baptised 12 Aug 1787 in St Olave, Bermondsey
parents = Thomas and Elizabeth
There is another too
William Bryant baptism 8 October 1786 in St Leonard, Shoreditch with parents William and Ann Bryant

Thats the family that I think he belongs to,John that is.That Bryant family is where my ancestry Lies. 2 other members of that family also emmigrated to the same area in New Zealand, William 1837 and Thomas 1844.The only hitch is that Somerset was listed on his death cert. I am aware that mistakes can be made over continents and time though, thanks Matt

William Cole Bryant is the head for that family. I have never been able to find a marriage for him and Ann. It would be lovely to do so as It would prove everything

There is a unassisted passengers list that has John Bryant on it
John Bryant 26 born Great Britain
Departing from London to sydney, New South Wales - 21 September 1859 on the Damascus.
He is listed under the crew thought, not as a passenger.....

There is a marriage by banns I can see but Corville is spelt Corbel and it is in Middlesex, will post to see what you think and have a little scout around again..
This william was married before as he is a widow...
William Bryant, Widower of this parish and Ann Corbel, spinster of this parish married by banns on the 2nd October 1833 by Robt Dent??, vicar
witnesses were Ruth and George Ackermann
-
William Cole Bryant and Ann ? would have to have been married around 1810 as their first child Ann Was born then. She was baptised at Rotherhithe Sy Mary as was Thomas 1811 and William 1813.thanks again for looking into it Matthew
-
Sorry, i misunderstood from your first post. I thought I was looking for a Ann Colville as the wife...
There is a marriage in Rotherfield, Sussex, England for a William Bryant and Ann Billings 20 March 1808 I can see. Can't see any parents or witnesses though ...
Rotherfield / 1754 - 1837 / film 1067280
I can see a christening for a William Bryant 26 Feb 1786 with parents John Bryant and Anne in Rotherfield also. Could this be your William who married ann Billings??

The family of Ann Colville and William Bryant are the ones I am looking for.The only solid info I have on them is that they had a son John born abt 1833.I suspect it is the Bermondsey family of William Cole Bryant but no solid evidence. I have plenty of info on the Bermondsey family but no marriage record for William and Ann in that family.I have had a pretty good look through the records availible online but have run into a brick wall so was hoping someone on rootschat may have come across the family. I have had a look at Bryants in Sussex before and am pretty sure they dont fit in. thanks again for taking the time to look at it
