Hello,
I have just today discovered your website.
My grandfather was originally from Weston-super-Mare and was born around 1901-02. I popped our surname GLOSSOP into your searxh engine and accessed an article about gardening awards tbag featured a GLOSSOP as a winner. How could I go about finding out about my ancestors? Do you have an online record of Births?
Best,
Alice Glossop

Censuses are great for family history. As your grandad was born around 1901-02 I would try the 1911 one. Family Search has a census record of them, just fill in what you know & tick the right boxes:

Would he have been Sinclair Glossop? I found that him & an Ina Evelyn Glossop registered in Axbridge district using

There was a Sinclair Leslie GLOSSOP born 21st May 1902 in Weston-s-Mare could this be your grandfather? his father was Joseph Burdett GLOSSOP. If you are a full member of the society you will have full accsess to our transcriptions which shows a number of GLOSSOP's in the Emanuel Church including the baptism of Sinclair.
