    My Research  
                   
    Thankfully, there is more and more research material becoming available, especially on the      
   

Internet, but of course a great deal of these resources cost money.

     
    Without doubt the best way to gather information in the first place is to ask members of your family,      
    before they pass on, but unfortunately, like me, we don't always have that luxury.  We have      
   

used many of the following to gain information.

      
           
    The I.G.I. (The International Genealogical Index)      
    Free BMD (An index of 1837 - 1914 Free Births Marriages & Deaths)      
    Rod Neeps Archive CD's      
    Ancestry.Com (A pay site)      
    Local and National Record Offices      
    Local and National Libraries      
    The 1841,1851, 1861, 1871, 1881, 1891 Bristol Census      
    The 1841, 1851, 1861, 1871, 1881, 1891 Gloucester Census      
    Vital indexes for Bristol, Gloucester and Somerset      
    Many local Bristol & Gloucester Family sites      
                       
    Whilst attempting to find which BROCK's fitted when and with whom, I have the following      
    databases if anyone would  like copies or a look up.      
                       
    Bristol and Gloucester birth's, marriages &  deaths for BROCK (1542 - 1991)      
    Devon BROCK data base (containing almost 1500 entries).      
                       
    All the above contain as many Births Marriages and Deaths that I have been able to find both on      
    the internet, various record offices I have been to and my purchased genealogy data CD's.        
                       
    Surnames that interlink my family.      
    The surnames closest to my family are SEABORNE, OLIVE. (Bristol, Bath & The USA)      
    FORMAN & WALKER (Lincolnshire, Manchester & Newport)      
    REARDON (Ireland & Newport)
