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
