Hi,

I had a look at Westerleigh on the 1861 census. Ther are 3 entries for Belcher.

Samuel Belcher, Coalminer, aged 75 with wife Hester.

Samuel Belcher, Coalminer, aged 26 with wife Mary A.
 
Betsy Belcher, Servant, aged 25

I couldn't find a William or John Belcher.

If you can make a connection to any of the above I can post the information.

Regards
Darcy

Hi ,
I hope the following is of some help.

From BAFHS Index to Bristol Marriages 1813-1837
Register 3d Westerleigh Page 22 No 65
William BELCHER of Chipping Sodbury, GLS to
Lucy SMALLCOMB of Westerleigh, GLS
at St.James the Great, Westerleigh, GLS by Banns
7 Aug 1822

From Gordon Beavington's Transcription of 1851 Census, GLS
Brookridge, Frampton Cotterell, GLS
BELSHER John 29 Coal Miner Westerleigh
Hester 24 Mangotsfield
Robert 2 Monmouthshire ??
Mary 6m Frampton C.

I found to trace of William or Lucy in GLS in 1851, possibly they moved to MON with John in 1840s and stayed there.
