Normans of Mangotsfield, Bristol, Chipping Sodbury
- Mangotsfield
I am interested in the Norman family who lived in Mangotsfield during the 18th and 19th centuries. Names include Thomas b 1768 married to Sarah b 1783, Francis b 1793, Joseph b 1791, William b 1774. My ancestor is Henry Norman b 1805, who had a daughter Mary b 1823 who later married Ishmael Fisher of Trevethin, Wales. Do not know the relationships between all these Normans. There is an entry for the death of a Henry Norman in Chipping Sodbury in 1844 and Bristol in 1849. Any information about this family would be greatly appreciated.
