England / Re: 17th Century Brittons, Bretons, etc. in England
« on: Sunday 30 August 20 17:39 BST (UK)  »
Hi there, recently discovered I'm descended from one of the Britton families in Bitton through my 4th great grandmother and am looking for anyone who might have a more complete family tree or info on the Britton families pre mid-1700s.

Also I believe my britton ancestors are from the Britton family group 7 if that helps.

Hi there I'm new to this site so still figuring out how to navigate but I recently decided to look into my family history and heritage as I knew nothing about my family past my immediate living relatives and found out that my fourth great grandmother on my father's side was a woman from Bitton called Ann Britton who married a man called James West who I presumed was my fourth great grandfather as I am a West as is my father and so on but digging deeper James West died years before Ann's son Charles West my third great grandfather was born, anyway turns out my fourth great grandfather was actually a man called Charles lawrence but their son was born out of wedlock so was given Ann's married surname of West, this was quite the surprise and the situation intrigued me so I started to look into the Britton family and soon discovered there's quite the history there and I've traced the family line back a few generations to the early/mid 1700s but have hit a bit of a wall and just wondered if anyone here knew much about the Brittons in Bitton, Gloucester, further back than the 1700s any info would be greatly appreciated, thanks
