He writes "I have also found the will of a James COLSTON of Whitchurch, proved
1786, who I think is probably [0]. He mentions the following family:
Wife Elizabeth
Son James [1]
Daughter Martha [2], married to John HALL of Long Ashton
Daughter Ann [3], married to Charles HALL of Norton Malreward
Daughter Elizabeth [4], not married
Daughter-in-law Susannah BEYNHAM(?), wife of Richard BEYNHAM of Bristol
Daughter-in-law Mary EDWARDS, widow of Norton Malreward
Brother John COLSTON
Nephew Richard COLSTON
Cousin Richard COLSTON, Accountant of Bristol (maybe same Richard)
Nephew Robert COLSTON, of Whitchurch
I assume the daughters-in-law are what we would call step-daughters,
i.e. his wife was married before."

m sp-Mary RUSSELL bp 28.9.1783 Whitchurch Her 2nd m.
She 1st married George Adams STOCKER. She is 31 at 1. RUSSELL OF WHITCHURCH
by GD AUDCENT Geoff.Audcent"att"defra.gsi.gov.uk at
../russell/russell.html See there for her family & issue by 1st husband.
Amongst the property left to Mary by her 1st husband was the life tenancy of 5
acres of land Known as Slape, in Whitchurch, the control of which later led to
a family quarrel (see 3 of 1. of ../russell/russell.html above for details).
The 1840 Tithe Apportionment Award shows that Mary was the fifth largest
landowner in Whitchurch, with 136 acres including Withy Bed (plan 213) &
Heart Meers (arable, plan 225) - see p37 of "History of Whitchurch" [Part 1],
Whitchurch Local History Society, ed. Brian & Mgt SLADE c1995 on the web at
http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Ridge/5970/
Mary also held
joint-tenancies on other land, with her children, including land leased from
Sir John SMYTH of Ashton Court. By 1851 Mary was again widowed and the
census recorded her as an annuitant living at White Cross in Whitchurch with
Anne [32-sp] visiting.

lizsmith121"att"hotmail.com wrote 7.8.10: My mother knew Frank and Edward
[16211] COLSTON very well - she used to cook sunday lunch for them every week.
My grandmother did housework for them and lived in one of their cottages.
Frank and Edward owned quite a few cottages, including Blackacre (the row of 4
cottages behind the Limes). This is where various members of our family had 3
of the cottages for many years. They also owned Ivy Cottage which is adjacent
to the Limes and Blackacre and various others in the village. All the
properties were left to the tenants. Frank and Edward were very different
people - Edward was a much smarter man and more of a businessman. They hardly
ever spoke to each other but slept in the same bed!
My gran did their washing and cooked their lunch every day. My mum cooked
their sunday lunch. They always had a proper roast dinner - roast meat, roast
potatoes, veg and gravy, - with salad!!!
Mum thinks their money was left to the church and was intended to be used for
St Nicholas, but she thinks that it was in fact used to help build a new church
- St Augustine's.
Maud never married - neither did Frank or Edward.

1871 unemployed ironmonger staying with his paternal aunts (Misses Mary and

He advertised his business in the 1880 Wright's
Bristol Street Directory, as a wholesale and retail Ironmonger, cutler and
mechanic's tool dealer, of 45 Mary-le-Port Street, in the centre of Bristol;
[page 479. This is the same Charles HALL because the 1881 census reveals no
other ironmongers of this name in Bristol.]
He was also the Sole Agent for TAYLOR & WILSON's celebrated Washing, Wringing

2. INDEX OF PLACE NAMES - to do
** GLOUCESTER
Bristol
** SOMERSET
WHITCHURCH -by GA: During the 1750's a small agricultural community straddling
the main road between Bristol and Wells, and it is most likely that William was
a farmer. He certainly of sufficient standing in the local community to play an
active part in parish affairs, and must therefore have owned or tenanted
sufficient property to pay the parish rates. It can be safely assumed that he
was a tenant rather than a land-owning farmer because he was not listed amongst
the freehold owners in the Land tax returns for 1766 or 1767 [at SCRO ref
Q/rel 21/16].
The parish was the principle unit of local government at this date, and
important decisions were taken at parish meetings known as vestry
meetings. Members of the Vestry were the more substantial residents of the
parish and their responsibilities were wider than modern-day parish councils
(eg, including the setting and collection of rates, maintenance of the parish
church and care of the poor and sick). The Vestry delegated day-to-day
decisions to a Churchwarden and Overseer of the Poor, who were both annually
elected. These positions were unpaid and could be quite onerous, but were often
regarded as a local honour.
Many records survive which record the patterns of the land ownership and
occupation in Whitchurch during the Eighteenth and Nineteenth Centuries, such
as the land tax returns, the electoral registers, and various surveys of the
SYMTH estate (the SYMTH family lived at Ashton Court near Long Ashton, but only
a large amount of land in Whitchurch). The RUSSELL (and CHILTON) families
figure in all these records between 1766 and 1848/9, and it is therefore
important to understand the patterns of land occupation and the way fields,
tenements and farms were named. The Land Tax returns show that there were about
a dozen land owning families in Whitchurch during the late Eighteenth Century,
some of whom could be described as minor gentry and who occupied their own land
(such as the LANSDOWN, STOCKER and COLSTON families) whilst others (such as the
GORE-LANGTONS and SYMTHS) were aristocratic absentee landlords who let their
lands to tenant farmers. The RUSSELLs would have mixed with the LANSDOWN,
STOCKER and COLSTON families on a frequent basis, and indeed they married into
the STOCKER and COLSTON families.
Land holdings were often leased to tenant farmers and divided up into
tenements for this purpose. Tenements could constitute an entire 'farm' or just
individual fields, or portions of a former farm tenement. Each farm or tenement
was individually named, sometimes on based on the characteristics of the field
concerned (eg Claylands, Long Mead, Tyning-next-Saltwell) and sometimes based
in the name of the previous occupier. Thus, the land belonging to Francis ADAMS
Esq and known as "Lyons Court and Giffards" in the tax returns up to 1782
changed its name from 1783 when ownership passed to Sir John SYMTH Bt. From
then on it was known as "Late ADAMS'. Another example was "Late ABBOTS" -
Joseph ABBOTT was recorded as the occupier of Hassells Farm and Willsons Farm
in a survey of the Manor of Whitchurch, carried out for Sir John SYMTH in
1730. Other probable examples included "Late Townsends", "Late Harris's", "Late
Rooms", and possibly "Reeves's". Some name's disappeared over time, whilst
others continued and became the formal names of particular farms, such as
Abbots Farm and Reeve's Farm. The Land Tax returns show that there was
relatively little change in land ownership and occupation from one year to the
next, and that the amount of tax assessed on individual tenements often
remained the same over many decades, which is especially helpful in identifying
the ownership of land over time (even when a tenement's name is used
inconsistently).

4. THE NUMBERING SYSTEMS USED
(i) The number at the start of the line indicates his order of descent from
the initial couple. In 2. this is "0 John Sandford RUSSELL m sp-Mary BAWLERS"
(The "sp-" is for spouse.)
Their children are numbered 1 2 3 ...
The children of say 2 are numbered 21 22 23 .. and so on.
(ii) The generation number precedes the name.
For example the "3--" in
143 3--Florence Alice RUSSELL
indicates she is in the 4th generation, counting the initial couple
as generation 0.
So to see who her siblings are one can either look for adjacent "3--"
or look at the beginning of each line for 141,142, 144, 145,...
