Bristol & Avon Family History Society - Strays

1 Bristol & Avon Family History Society Strays - Introduction The Strays listed in this document are people born or who usually lived in the former county of Avon ( Bristol , Bath, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire) but have been found (often by chance) in another county. They have been submitted to the Society by Family historians for in-clusion in this document and have been taken from many different sources such as baptismal, marriage and death registers, newspapers and monumental inscriptions.

2 Prior to the advent of the internet and its powerful search facilities, locating ancestors who had moved away from their place of birth (or where they usually lived) was an extremely difficult, if not impossible task and the Strays file offered a ray of hope to researchers whose ancestors had dissappeared off the radar . Nowadays, the internet makes it much easier to find people wherever they are located but nevertheless, the Strays file can still give a clue as to their whereabouts when you hit that brickwall.

3 Please bear in mind that this document is a secondary source and reseachers should endeavour to verify all information used. The Society is still maintaining its Strays file and we welcome your submissions although we are not recording information from census records because they are widely available on-line. Please include as much information as possible, especially about the source document. For example, if the source is a newspaper article, please include the following: name of the newspaper date of its publication page number of the article title of the article Submissions (scanned images if possible) can be sent by email to: Alternatively, submissions can be posted to the address shown on the Society website.
