according to the 1841 and 1851 census reports my ancester Elizabeth davis and her children were living in Bridport Worcester in the parish of St Andrew. Does anybody know where Bridport is? I've been unable to find it on an internet search.

Not too sure, but if you go here
http://www.british-history.ac.uk/map.aspx?compid=55217
and click on Worcester, click over by the left hand side of the map to zoom in, look for St Helens in quite big letters. Then just above that is Copenhagen Street running E-W, and that may be Bridport at right angle sto it only it looks more like Birdport to be honest  Must be in that neck of the woods at least.
Hope that helps a bit.

My relatives lived in and around Birdport too. Unfortunately, most buildings within this area of Worcester were demolished during the slum clearance of the 1930s and so (though some streets remain) much of it does not...certainly none of my relatives' abodes.
