Hi MIK,
I have checked the St John the Baptist, Chipping Sodbury Burial Records at Glos Archives, but they do NOT hold any records after 1943.
I will send you contact details for the church via private message (pm).

Title: Baptism of James Norman 1840, St. James, Bristol.
Post by: patmathews on Sunday 31 August 14 22:03 BST (UK)
Hi Victor,   First time using this forum and looking for someone who could possibly see if there is a baptism at St. James, Bristol, in the year 1840 (or 1 yr. + or -) for a James Norman whose father was John Norman.    John being a deceased Builder by 1874 (as on  his son James marriage cert.).

Unfortunately I cannot be certain of young James with his father John on the earlier censuses, eg. 1841, '51.   Neither can I be sure of which birth cert to go for.     My only hope is the information contained in a baptism.

If you are able to look at the registers for me I would be most grateful, but if not then I am sorry to have troubled you with this request.

Many thanks,
Pat Mathews

Hi Pat,
Welcome to RootsChat.
Unfortunately my Bristol records only go up to 1837. I can only recommend that you contact either of the following organisations:-
Bristol & Avon Family History Society - www.bafhs.org.uk
Bristol Record Office - http://archives.bristol.gov.uk/dserve/
Good hunting!
Victor

Hi Pat,
I've checked the Bristol marriages up to 1837, and found the following 2 possibilities:-
James NORMAN, of this parish, married Joanna PALMER, of this parish, at St Paul, Portland Square, Bristol, 27th December 1832. Register 2h, Page 203, Number 613 refers.
James NORMAN, Bachelor, of this parish, married Catherine DAY, Spinster, of this parish, at St John, Bedminster, Bristol, 20th September 1835. Register 3j, Page 89, Number 266 refers.

Hi Victor,
You are very kind to check your Bristol marriages but, with respect, it is a  "John"  Norman marriage which I would need, not a James!

Hi Pat,
Sorry about that. It may help my search if I knew the forename John's wife.

Sorry Victor but I do not know the name of John Norman's  wife.       The marriage cert. of his son (James) only had the father's name.   
The marr. cert. also says that the father (John) was a Builder who was deceased by his son's  marr. date of 7th Dec. 1874.     This marriage of James took place in Newcastle upon Tyne.
I can usually find and track the family on the censuses but on this occasion it has proved very difficult to determine with accuracy to link up the right father John with the correct son James, especially as not knowing who the mother of James was.     
In spite of not knowing the name of John's wife, I would still appreciate knowing of the possible John Norman marriages at St. James, Bristol  1830-1841 if possible.
Many thanks,
Pat

Hi Pat,
You may be in luck! There is ONLY one John NORMAN marriage as follows:-
John NORMAN, of this parish, married Ann HELLARD, of this parish, at St James, Bristol, 26th February 1821.
Register 3l1, Page 106, Number 318 refers.

Hi Victor,
Thank you very much for finding this marriage.    It does look good, it being the only one at St. James in the likely time frame.
I intend looking into it more thoroughly tomorrow by now looking for a John and Ann Norman in the earlier censuses.
Once again, many thanks,
Pat
