Green family, Bradford on Avon

[cannyfindit]

After a long lay-off from doing tree-searching, I'm back on it again. I'd like to try and plug some gaps with the surname GREEN in Bradford-on-avon, which has been in Somerset and Wiltshire at various times.
I have a lady called Ann Green in my tree....she's a G2 grandmother....born c1826 in Bradford on avon. Her parents are believed to be James and Joyce Green. Ann had siblings Eliza, Ruth, Amelia and James; the eldest Eliza being born possibly around 1808. It is thought the family attended Morgan's Hill Independent church, since two of the children were baptised there.
I am unable to find any info for James Green or a marriage to Joyce. If anyone comes across anything, I would be pleased to know.
If mods think this should be under Wiltshire, please move as you wish.

Have you looked at the Wiltshire OPC?
www.wiltshire-opc.org.uk

If you navigate to the Bradford-on-Avon parish page, and scroll down, you will find links to transcriptions for marriages back to 1566.

Otherwise, parish registers are held at the Wiltshire & Swindon History Centre.

It looks as though in 1841 they were living in St Margarets Hill  Bradford

Ann   dressmaker
Amelia  bonnet maker
James    shoe maker
Joyce  picker

There is another Ann  a picker in NoWhere Lane
In 1821 there was a Simeon Green  a tailor living in Woolley Street

I have a copy of the history of the Independent Chapel  but cannot find any reference to a Green family.

This is a very interesting site with lots of Bradford history

Thanks for all your replies. At the moment I've come up with just one marriage that might suit the bill, a James Green to Joyce Nutt...in 1802...but this was in Bath, rather than Bradford on avon. Still, it's a start and I can hopefully investigate it further.

RJeff, yes I believe this is the correct family at St Margarets Hill, as far as I can determine at this time. Didnt know about Simeon Green of 1821, I guess this is from a directory? Could certainly be a relative. I see what you mean about the Freshford/Bradford website having lots of detail; I can't understand why I've never found it before....one of those things, I guess, the Net is a big place
