Hi Teresa

Bristol would have been in Somerset back then. Now the City of Bristol is in the county of Avon as far as I know, and has been since 1974 when the county boundaries changed and there were a few new counties created. If anyone Bristolians out there knows any different please feel free to correct me!!!

Regards

Hazel in Surrey

I found a resource for Daniel Lamoreaux that I am adding to my GEDCOM. I wanted to check the place they say he is born. It says he is born in Bristol, Som., England. I looked in Somerset County and can't find a town or parish named Bristol on the index. He was born November 29, 1695. Was there a Bristol in Somerset County back then or is my source wrong?
Thanks!
Teresa
