Workhouses Stapleton and Eastville were in the Fishponds area. bro@bristol.gov.uk,   e-mail, or address,  B Bond Warehouse, Smeaton Rd. Bristol BS1 6XN would help you. I spoke o a man called Matt Coles, who was marvellous.

Gloucestershire Lookup Requests / Re: Eastville Workhouse Bristol

I have had marvellous results from Bristol records office, who searched the creed register for Eastville workhouse for me, and came up with four entries for my father. He was admitted at 6mths old, sent to various children's homes, then back to Eastville until final discharge in 1916. For a fee I have copies of the pages in the register showing my father's details. They suggested I contact Bristol children's dept. for further information as the to children's homes who cared for him. I await results.     Having previously been told by Bristol library no records existed, I am more than happy with the results.

My father Victor William Welchman was placed in Eastville Workhouse Bristol age 1week in 1910. Would I  be able to find a record of this in Bristol records office. He was moved to the cottage homes in Fishponds road when he was 3yrs old, where he remained until he was 14yrs old?

I have now spoken to the records office, thanks to your information, and they are looking into the details I require. The office has also put me on to the children's department, to whom I have now written, who should have records of infants in the workhouse. I am very grateful to you for correcting my information, obviously the office and myself were at cross purposes several years ago as to which workhouse had their records destroyed. Thank you again.
