You've all given me a lot to think about. Thank you.
As neither James LONG nor his wife Elizabeth were born in Somerset (according to 1841 census of Weston, Bath) probably the baptisms in Freshford and Newton St Loe may not be possible.
I'm interested in the marriage of James LONG and Elizabeth TOVEY at St John the Baptist, Bedminster - I've looked at that before - Both signed their names and their witnesses were John & Mary EDWARDS who were not regular witnesses so may have some connection with the family.
I have sent for a copy of the Will of James LONG from Weston - it's at the Somerset Archives although I doubt it will give any information about his parents.
Not sure how that baptism of Matthew's at St Paul's Church Portland Square, Bristol got to mention Argyle Chapel - I can't see that on the image of the entry. Perhaps I'm looking in the wrong place.
