Freya have you tried "The TROTMAN Family 1086 - 1963" by Francis Trotman at Gloucestershire Archives? Also many entries in their "Gloucestershire Notes and Queries" vol V?
I am looking for background to Moses Workman (Wakeman?) Trotman born Berkeley 1807 illegitimate son of Ann Bainham. If I can discount bullrushes, how is he linked to the Trotman tribe?

This a fantastic site. I wish all parishes had the same facilities. Thank you to those who have done the hard work.

It would be wonderful to make connections with ny Baker, Millard or Holloway families or their descendents.

Thank you for such an easy to access site. What a find! I am researching the Trotman family. if anyone can help me with info on Thomas Trotman (Tratman) of Berkeley born abt 1598, to George and Agnes Trotman. in 1618 he was under 21 according to his fathers will and over seas on a merchant voyage. I know he married in about 1631, in berkeley, and his wife was born about 1604, but I have no name for her. Does anyone else know. i have a fairly compendious list of other family members going back to about 1300 so if anyone else is researching and I can help, please email and I will help if possible. thanks again for the site, it filled in some gaps very nicely.

Although slightly outside your area, I notice there are references to the surname Canning in this area. My Canning ancestors come from Bristol, but I am trying to identify links to JOHN CANNING who was christened on 15 August 1784 at Frampton-on-Severn, the son of John Canning & Anne Hewlett.

What a fantastic site - so much information to be had. Thank you to all the people who have given their time to putting this site together.

Researching Hester Shill's marriage to John Willcox family from Thornsbury and Almondsbury. Have come across an inscription on a gravestone in St Mary's Church in Almondsbury of a Hester SHIELD wife of John Willcox and daughter of Martha and Issac Shield. Wonder if this could be my Hester SHILL. Anybody any ideas please? Thanks. Lyn

Good work - but I wish you would indicate on your front page exactly what records are available for each individual parish, and what period they cover. This is vital information, that is not easily found.
