Hi Jen I'm going to be a big let down now because having just dug out the Bristol Diocese baptisms disk I can see that it will be of no use to you because they start from 1813 onwards. Such a shame because it covers Oldland, Stapleton and also there is a Redland Green on there (could this be the Redcross Lane that was mistranscribed?). Anyway, sorry about that - haven't used it in so long that I had forgotten the years covered. If there are any others you need looking up, anything after 1813 - just let me know. Regards - Athena |

Red Cross St was in the parish of St Philip and St Jacob. Stapleton is only a couple of miles from there. Nicky |

Carol, I think you may have knocked out the first brick in one of my two brick walls.............this is so fantastic, I hardly dare believe it! She did marry Charles Brandon, my gg grandfather, though on IGI it records in 1824 and not 1822. You have found the name of the church they married at, and last but not least, the only sighting anyone has had of Martha prior to her marriage was that she was probably born in Oldland, which I found is only a couple of villages/districts from Stapleton. They lived in Bristol and raised their family there yet according to the 1871 census, she was born at Redcross Lane Bristol........which I suppose was probably another mistranscription by the enumerator, because if she had have been, why would she travel to Stapleton to marry?? So possibly the sighting for her in Oldland was the right one. I just have to figure out how to match them together now, as the only family I have found in Oldland, shows no evidence of Martha! I so appreciate this Carol.......how lucky for me that you read this thread. Thankyou! Jen |

Jen Hope I'm not treading on anyone's toes by replying. Sorry, I couldn't find a baptism for Martha Simpkins. I found a marriage for a Martha Simkins (without the 'p') to Charles Brandon but it was on the 30 June 1822 at Holy Trinity Church, Stapleton. Is this the correct marriage? Carol |

Does anyone hold these and would consider doing a look up for me please?.............................Do they contain any parish records for Bristol?...... I am trying to find a Martha Simpkins. Born about 1804/6............When she got married in 1824, she was living Redcross lane/street? Bristol...............Don't know if she was born Bristol, and need to discover her family and where they originated. Thankyou. Jen |
