Try Bristol and Avon Family History Society - they have CDs of baptisms from 1754

They do indeed - a forename or 2 would be good!

Hope Someone Can Help
I also have a 1700 look-up for Bristol. It would be great if anyone can help. The name is Henry Stretton. According to the census records he was born in 1790 in Bristol. I don't have any details on his parents so I am happy to learn of any Stretton listings for this year. A big thank you in advance for any assistance in tracking Henry down.

Hi Daisy no sign of a Henry Stretton but there is a Henry Stratton bap 1789 so of William and Sarah. They also might have had a Mary in 1799. Sue

Thank you Sue. Stretton is often spelt with an a so it might very well be Henry. I will investigate the family further to see if their details link in with the information I have on Henry.
A big thank you from me to you.

Hello bassett14,
Welcome to British-Genealogy.
Unfortunately Blue Daisy is no longer a member of the forum as denoted by the 'guest' under the username.
The image of the parish register entry for Henry's baptism is on Ancestry, so therefore unlikely to be on FMP as well. If you forgot to download a copy, your local library might offer free access to Ancestry.
To confirm the entry details, it says baptised 25 December 1789, St James', Bristol, Henry, son of William and Sarah Stratton.
You probably already have these but other baptisms I found (on Ancestry) all at St James' Bristol:
Edward Stretton 1788. I presume he's the one buried 2 February 1789. (image 293 of 410 in the same register as his baptism.)
Edward Stretton 1792. I have allegedly checked for burials 1792-1796 inclusive without success.
Sarah Stretton 1793.
Eliza Stretton 1795, indexed as Eliz.
Edward Stretton 1797
Mary Stretton 1799.
The Edward 1797 is the only one without an image available on Ancestry.
