Hallo All,

A fresh source list my "brick wall" as:
John ABBOTT, b. 28-2-1820, Bristol Castle

I know there is the Castle in Bristol and Castle park.
Is there a parish called Castle?
Could it be a ship called "Bristol Castle"?
About the pronunciation, I am just curious,
is Bristol ever pronounced as almost "bristle"?
That one seems to come fairly naturally to me.
Maybe I am just lazy!

All help greatly appreciated!

Warm regards,
Henry Abbott
