Title: Help please c.1763 Bristol marriage baptism of ancestors who were probably Welsh
Post by: aussiecandy on Wednesday 17 January 18 08:02 GMT (UK)

Hi,
Sometime ago I found the transcript for these two events.

5 April 1763 Morgan JOHN = Mary REES, St Augustine-the-less, Bristol.

11 Dec 1763 Mary JOHN, father: Morgan JOHN, Mother: Mary. St Augustine-the-less, Bristol.

I would really love to know if there is a digital image somewhere, please. I've not been able to trace their origins but with the surname JOHN, I'm guessing it's Wales but would be pleased to know if the marriage or baptism alludes to where they were from. I've been researching my family tree for 20 years but haven't really delved into Welsh research yet. I have a few other ancestors with Welsh names in Gloucestershire and other counties in England. It would be wonderful to break down this one brick wall to start the ball rolling towards finding my Welsh roots.
TIA.
