Hello all,  I am a newbie, nice to see you all here the site looks good.
I have been researching on and off for about 5 years, but getting no where fast, so tend to put my file down for too long. but just picked it all up again have just found one of my Harvey's  is a teacher in Bristol,my question is, do you think he is a 'school' teacher ? and also where am I likely to find records and schools where he was, St Philip and Jacob, Bristol.

thanks Yvette

Hello Yvette

Welcome to Rootschat 

Would you like to give his name and dates?  Have you followed him through the different census to see if his occupation is the same?

A little information here: http://www.bristolinformation.co.uk/schools/

Kind regards
Barbara

Hi Barbara
He is Richard Harvey bn. appx 1818 Painswick, Gloucestershire.
1851 he is in Barton St. Mary, Tredworth. Occ. Day labourer 33 yrs
1861 he is in St philip & Jacob Bristol. Occ. Teacher 44 yrs

Just about to look on the 1841 census.

1871 he is a Coal Manager !

His occupation certainly varied.

It looks as if he died in 1877, his death cert may reveal more:
Mar 1877  Clifton    6a   87          HaRVEY    Richard    aged 59

Oh WOW Barbara, thanks so much for the info, I cannot believe you found it so quickly I will certainly send for the death cert. .

Can I be so bold to ask another favour, I have hit a brick wall with my maiden name research, its very common, Williams.....  ?

Did you find him in 1841?  Do you have access to all the census or do you need the details for the 1871 census I gave?  I'm puzzled too, as to what kind of Teacher he was, having first been an Ag. Lab.  Was just going to look at the 1881 to see if occupation for Elizabeth said she was a teacher's widow or coal manager's widow.  I see her birthplace is Wales or Gloucester on different census.

As to your Williams family, were they from Gloucestershire?  If not (and in any case) it would be better to start a new post for them on the county board otherwise the information gets confusing.  If you can then give as much detail as possible and say what you already know and what you need to find out.

Kind regards
Barbara

Thanks Barbara, yes I have Richard on the 1871 census  I will look now on the 1841 see what I find. I have just bought credits to view, will let you know what I find.   I thought it strange too her birthplace saying Wales, and Gloucestershire.
ok  I will tell you about my williams's on the County board in a mo, they are from Helston in Cornwall, moving up to London.

thanks so much,

bye for now Yvette
