Somerset / Re: Long Ashton parish registers - PRIGG Marriage lookup
« on: Saturday 20 November 10 23:05 GMT (UK)  »
Hi, I notice this post is an old one - but thought I'd send you a message anyway! Many of my ancestors reign from Long Ashton (Beachams) - and most of their birth/marriage records, although taking place in Long Ashton - have Bedminster as the "district".... my assumption is that Bedminster covered Long Ashton as part of it's catchment area...
Best wishes

Thank you again David - I've been to the record office before, but didn't know where to start! With this info, I'll certainly be making another trip there. The CD's seem like a really useful resource, so it looks like I might just be calling into their shop while I'm there!
Best wishes, Stephanie

Thank you so much David! I did come across the these websites yesterday, but haven't had time to explore fully as yet, but will certainly have another go now!! As for the marriage, this is looking very likely, as they were both living in Bristol with their children by the 1841 census... Does this info on the cd give any info on the fathers names (of William and Hannah)?? - also, does OFP mean that they were just living in Bristol at the time of their marriage, or that they were born there?
Thank you again... it's so lovely to know people out there can take their time to resolve complete strangers dilemmas!!!
Regards, Stephanie

Devon Lookup Requests / Re: Holsworthy - BUSSELL birth 1803
« on: Tuesday 16 November 10 12:48 GMT (UK)  »
Hi Karen, thanks for the reply! I also found a John and James by this couple - and the way things seem to go, William remains elusive!! As I said in my previous message, I have no evidence at all that William is the son of Edmund at all - I've just tentatively chosen this route as William's later census returns consistently state Holsworthy as his birthplace (dates between 1803 - 06) and Edmund seemed to be the only Bussell from Holsworthy that might fit the bill!! I believe Elizabeth possibly died around 1807, and Edmund appears to have married a Mary Ann Hurdle in 1808 - but again, this could be another Edmund!! In 1841 William was living in Bristol with his wife Hannah and children, but on the census, there is also a John Bussell aged 30 - could this be his brother?? All so intriguing.... I guess it's a matter of finding the parish record of his birth, or his later marriage to a Hannah Wyatt from West Harptree, to confirm more - but neither records can I find ... yet!!
Thank you again, for taking the time to have a look for me...

Somerset Lookup Requests / West Harptree - birth/marriage of Hannah WYATT
« on: Sunday 14 November 10 22:06 GMT (UK)  »
Hi... am desperately seeking any info on a Hannah Wyatt - who from census records - I believe was born around 1806 in West Harptree - I have no idea who her parents or siblings were - (although I did find a possible brother George Wyatt in the 1841 census) - any verification of her birth would be brilliant! I'm also after details of her marriage to a William Bussell (a saddler from Holsworthy) around 1828?? - this possibly also took place around West Harptree, although they are in Bristol by the 1841 census so they could have married there.
Any info/tips would be greatly appreciated.

Devon Lookup Requests / Holsworthy - BUSSELL birth 1803
« on: Sunday 14 November 10 21:55 GMT (UK)  »
Hi - I'm after a record of the birth/baptism of a William Bussell born in Holsworthy on or around 1803 - I beleive his parents were an Edmund Bussell and Elizabeth Bussell (nee Andrews) although I have no verification of this!! Any info regarding William and his parents (and possible siblings) would be really appreciated.
Thanks in anticipation...
