Hi,

I am researching a Richard FLORIDA born circa 1820 in Newport, Mons. He was a gardener and from census records seems to have married several times and lived in Bristol.

The GRO indexes give the following marriages for a Richard FLORIDA and I am trying to ascertain whether they are all the same man. Funds are pretty limited so I cannot afford to purchase all the certificates (6 of them) but wonder whether anyone has church records for Clifton that cover the period - this assumes that they were church weddings of course.

The index entries are are as follows:

Sep 1841 - Newport, Mons
Jun 1851 - Clifton
Jun 1859 - Clifton
Mar 1861 - Clifton
Dec 1867 - Clifton
Sep 1878 - Newport, Mons

The Newport to Clifton and then back again ties in with census records and there are possible matches on the census's for spouses amongst the names on the same pages of the index.

The 1867 marriage is to Emma Wotton but the others are awaiting partners.

Any thoughts would be much appreciated,

Thanks
