Researching the above family and am unable to find any information on my Great
Grandfather, James Alfred HASSELL.
James Alfred HASSELL - born circa 1858/60. Possibly in Stafford (surmising this from the
information on the 1881 census - assuming I have the correct family!) If I have the
correct family, they moved from Stafford to Bristol somewhere in the region of 1873.
James married Alice Louisa JONES in 1885 in Bristol. On marriage certificate his father
is identified as Joseph (fits in with census info (Alice) Louisa originally came from
Nailsea, Somerset.
My Grandmother, Louisa Jones HASSELL was born 27 November, 1893 at Myrtle Street in
Bedminster.
The family moved to Pontypool area in Monmouth early 1900s.
If I am on the right track, siblings of James would have been: Joseph, Elizabeth,
Frederick, Thomas, Richard (all born Stafford) and Alice, Mary Ann and Kate (last three
born Bristol).
If anyone can give me any leads to finding a record of James's birth I would
appreciate it. So far writing to records offices has not been very fruitful.
Thanks in advance.
