The house is currently for sale and although it has been reworked and extended still bears strong a resemblance to the "unknown" house. The house was built around 1895 by a man named Earnest Evans. (There was a cricketer by that name living in Bristol, however I do not know if this is the same person.) Anyway, it has been a residential nursing home for many years (I found reference to it dated 1926) and was recently owned/sold by a guy that currently? lives just up the road. The property is in the parish of Backwell and I contacted the parish council for help in identification. Here is the reply (e-mail) which I recieved on Friday 18th February. Dear Toby Craig I am afraid we cannot identify the property you refer to but I have forwarded your email to our local historian who will be in touch with you if she can identify the photograph. Good luck in your searches. Yours sincerely Jane Stone Clerk to the Council I am now at the mercy of this person and do not know whether I will here back or not. The only other course of action I can think of is to contact the former owner (probably by letter?) for his certain knowledge of the property. The other thing I need to know Paul/Cathyml is can I email the pics to you. I'm uncertain but I'm thinking that if I upload pics to my POE account then they have to be in a category. If this is correct, then my pics will be listed in POE and would look rather odd to a new visitor to this site. Can you please advise me on this, also I will send Paul a message with the former owners name as I don't want to risk lawful action for putting him on the net.. lol My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

Joanna's Weaver family lived at these addresses in Bristol. You are more than welcome to email me via contact on POE and we can arrange something. My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

Be amazing if so! My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

Paul Hilton Posts: 2605 Joined: 21st Nov 2004 Location: UK	quotePosted at 22:47 on 19th February 2011 i think anyone wanting to do their Beauvais family tree from England/Scotland back will likely end up around the year 1000 with either of these two gentlemen: Ermengarde de Clermont Beauvais and Hugh I de Creil de Beauvais As you work your way back through English and French nobility at various points, I suspect it's all the fault of William the Conquorer and his friends who decided to emmigrate from Normandy in 1066 !

That was what I was told by Robin de Beauvais verbally a long time ago; I wished could have tapped him I could hardly believe my ears. It would be a good case study to do.It all as it was too much to take in,!! Paul so sorry I called you Brain by mistake please excuse me. Toby: I did Google “Farleigh Combe Manor, Backwell" This is a modern property not the same stone as in the Photograph not the same roof or setting sorry. My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions
