Title: Lookup Challenge Bristol Record Office
Post by: Linz_Garmston on Monday 14 July 14 20:24 BST (UK)

I'm looking for information pertaining to JOHN GARMSTON born maybe in Shropshire c1665 and died Bristol 1745, I am aware of his children John, Elizabeth, Rebecca and Paul.

I am looking for where he was born or information about his early life. I have a lot of information about Garmstons in Shropshire and as a consequence Australia and America, but as of yet have been unable to find who came to Bristol in the 1660-90's.

Can you help? I have previously researched myself in the BRO, but now live in the Midlands with a new baby so am unable to come to Bristol.

Thanks is advance if anyone is able to help!

Hi Lindsey,
I was interested to come across your posting about John Garmston. I am descended from this John through his son John Garmston but have little information. I have John jnr's 1752 Will and more about the descendants of his daughter Sarah Garmston who married Robert Gordon in 1754 in Bristol.
I wonder where your connection with the family is? Would love to hear from you.
Best wishes

Hi Victoria,

I am descended from John's son Paul. I've been researching for about 10 years on and off. I have a lot of information about Garmston ancestors in Shropshire, so I'm looking for a link between them and the rest of the family.

I would welcome any sourcing and information. Are you on ancestry? I would be happy to share my research with you. Thanks for your reply.

Lindsey
