Joel Bishop of Worle additional
published by - 12 years 10 months 12 days ago.

I found this which gives a little more info on Joel

From the Gentlemans magazine December 1824 under obituaries:

"Dec 11. At Worle, after having been confined to his bed for the short space of three days only, Mr. Joel Bishop, of Banwell, Somerset, aged 103 years. He was the father of 180 children, of whom 115 are living at this period. On the 19th July, 1821, his present Majesty's Coronation-day, he formed one of the procession to Bristol Cathedral (and had attended similar ceremonies observed in that city on the Coronation of George II and George III.) being then in his 100th year. Notwithstanding his then advanced age, on the evening of the day abovementioned, he danced a hornpipe, sang a hunting song, and drank a glass of beer off the bottom of his foot. It may be necessary to add, in order to account for the immense offspring above stated, that of 21 children born in wedlock, 19 were females, one of whom, now residing near the top of Old Market-street, Bristol, and known to the writer hereof, has had 14 children, and 24 grandchildren."

Can you give any idea of possible dates for them?  What do you already know about them which made you search Hutton and Bleadon for their baptisms?

Hi, does any one have any information of these individuals, in particular baptisms. I have searched Hutton and Bleadon, but no luck in any likely connections.
