Thankyou! you have been a huge help. My Aunt says to say thanks too as she has spent years researching parts of the family via birth certificates and now she has more to go on. I did my homework on Bitton and it appears that it was once/still is classed as Bristol.
Thanks again!!!

Even today with the much larger urban sprawl of Bristol, Bitton still looks a totally separate place from Bristol on a modern map.

I think the map i saw was a lot less modern than that and not so detailed. Bitton looks further away than it did when i looked. My Aunt says that she payed forty pound for the 1891 result that she has saying Bristol but she has had it for many years. The address seems to be the same except what you found is a lot more accurate. Hers just says North common bristol. Thankyou again for all you help!!

This website has the history of Bitton village with some photographs of the village at the beginning of the C20th when it was still pretty rural.

Thankyou for the links. My Aunt has had a book published on her life growing up in the Rhondda during the war and her next one recounts her fathers stories so some of the info on the site should help her fill in the gaps and confirm things he spoke about. Thanks again!!!
