They seem to go by Bristow on subsequent censuses. |

I have looked and looked and looking at the way the enumerator wrote it does look that it is correct and says Bristol. However I agree with Choccy and maureen, is possible that its been written down wrong and either the enumerator misheard or he misread what was put down. |

I'm normally good at working out the letters from other names on the page but got to admit this one had me stumped, just knew it didn't end in L it was the wrong shape |

1 thing I did notice though linda was that sometimes on the end of the words the enumerator got a bit carried away and did a squiggly bit that looked a bit like it did on the end of what appeared to be bristol. Its just a thought. |
