Looking for baptism of James Avery born Lyng about 1836

Hi am new to rootschat, but have the same James Avery in my family tree. He was my G.G.G.Father. Have you managed to get anywhere with finding the baptism? Hope to hear back from you

Hi and welcome to Rootschat.
I'm sure you will find it useful over the coming months etc.
Unfortunately I did not find the baptism of James Avery.
Although he is not in my tree I posted this request to help  Lyndsey Avery who like me is a member of Genes Reunited.
Initially we both had James' spouse as Ann Cull but I believe her James married Mary Ann Bartlett Qtr 1861 Newport Gwent/Wales.
There is someone else on Genes (Clifford) who has a Mary Avery in his tree whom I believe may be the sister of James.
Worth joining Genes for a tenner a year!?
Regards
Bryan

Hi Lyndsey, glad to see you joined on my advice but doesn't appear you are going to be lucky on this one.
Did you ever contact Clifford on Genes regarding Mary possible brother to James?
As said before if all else fails James' marriage to Mary Ann will at least give his father and it should be easy to trace the family in the 1841 census when James would be circa 5 years old (perhaps you have already done this?)
Good hunting

Good morning!
Yes, I ordered the marriage cert on ancestry but it never arrived so had to request refund and buy elsewhere - am awaiting it's arrival.
The 1841 Census shows other James Averys but none in or from the Lyng area, I've made contact with tree owners but no replies. V.frustrating.
I've never found the Clifford tree either, did search after you told me about it but to no avail, so concluded that it's prob been deleted or I'm being a typical blond looking in the wrong place!
Hey ho, I'll wait for the certificate but am desperate to find out more, especially as rumour has it that James was linked to Captain Avery/Every, a ruthless pirate!
Once again, thanks for your efforts

Hello again Lyndsey
Clifford is still on Genes Reunited!
If you search for Mary Avery b1834 it will bring up a couple of dozen or so. You can then select the one born Lyng and contact him.
I've done this myself today explaining the possibility of Mary and James being siblings and await his reply. It does not look like he has James in his tree but hopefully he will have the parents of Mary who just maybe the sister of James?
Will let you know the outcome (only cos you're an Avery! )

Bryan, thanks very much - you're a good 'un!

The James Avery & Mary Anna Bartlett , if I am correct in my research are my great  grandparrents.
He was a carpenter ( like his father), became a wheelwright. Moved to Newport probably via the steamer that ran between Newport & Weston-super-Mare. Started a carriage works. Its location mentioned in Kellys guide 1901 (I think). He was in newport at its peak as a coal shipping port when carts required to move the coal to the ships. He bought a house for each of his 10 children.
James Avery's life can practically followed through the census records . Unfortunately he died in 1908.
James was born in Yatton, which is a sub district of Congresbury near where Bristol Airport is located.
I am trying to follow James' lineage back to see if there is a line to the famous Avery Clans of Dedham, Ma. and/or Groton, Ct. Avery  Clans of USA.

I am stuck at William Avery born about 1860s ish. I do not think he came from Yatton but his wife Sarah did.

The Weston-super-mare FHS have created many detailed transcripts from the Parish records of the area. They keep these on line for members information.

Sorry about rabbiting
