James Bowyer b.1796, St James, Bristol
I was wondering whether anyone has access to the parish register for St James parish in Bristol UK?
I am looking for my Great great great Grandfather James Bowyer, and would like to find out his parents.
There is a reference to a Benjamin Bowyer b.1807 in Bristol, parents being James and Malina.
Since Malina is a family name in my tree, and so unusual, I wondered if this was a link. Also Benjamin and my Grandfather were both stonemasons, (stonemasons seem to be a family trade right through to this day) so wondered if possibly they were brothers.
Many thanks for any help given - I've hit a brick wall!
