Hi Trish.  Thank you so much for your kind help, it may well be my Sarah.  I have just sent for her marriage certificate after some other kind help from a "Roots" person so we will see.  Kindest regards 28

I know I get confused all the time which county Bristol ends up in. I think at some point it was a county in it's own right. :-\

Historically in Gloucestershire, the city received a Royal charter in 1155 and was granted County status in 1373.

Unfortunately some organisations (like the Association of British Counties) have never recognised this fact! >:(

Every day, commuting to work, I passed signs saying "Welcome to the City and County of Bristol"!

Parts of what is now Bristol, south of the River Avon, were historically part of Somerset: Bedminster, Brislington and so forth.
