Hi does anyone have access to Gloucester Baptism records, I am looking for a Charles Brooks, probably born 1801 in Bedminster, Bristol. Any help will be most appreciated. Elaine

The closest one on BVRI is Charles Brooks born 26 Sep. 1806, Bristol, Gloucestershire. Collection: Society of Friends (Quaker). Parents Thomas Brooks & Mary.

Researching:
Great grandmother Dorothy Bean nee Abbott (1858-1908)

Sorry to butt in, but Margaret - do you have access to Shropshire BVRI records?

Hi, Paul! There are some Shropshire records, but like most BVRI records, they're very hit and miss. You just have to be lucky with BVRI. Throw some names at me and I'll look. Margaret

Thanks for trying Margaret, could you possibly try her as a Hannah Barron instead Cheers Elaine

No, there's no Hannah Barron either in Gloucestershire and none anywhere with a mother Frances/Fanny.

Thanks Margaret This Brooks family is turning out to be hard work, already spent hours in Gwent Records Office - have to go to Gloucester next, but have to wait until we have a good spell of decent weather. Thanks for all you help Elaine
