I'm sorry if this has been asked before. I am looking for occupants of Barry Hill House which was described on my 5x great grandfather, John Wright, will, 1816, house formally known as Baggeridges as at the end of Cherry Garden Lane in Bitton. I can find occupants in 1939 but nothing before that. I know that the house was bought about 1793 from the Baggeridge family. I was told by a cousin that it was either Westover house or Barry Hill House which her grandmother visited in the 1840s. I am at a loss as which one though as I can find no record of ownership of them by A person with surname of Wright, Stone, or Lacey being some family relatives.
John Wrightwas Mary Barry who died before her husband. This leads to me believing that Baggeridges was renamed Barry Hill house after Mary's death.
Another property mentioned in John Wrights will was a property named Parry's at the top of Cherry Garden Lane. I think this is no longer standing as cannot find on Google maps a property described.
