I can't see any obvious FoD connection here - you are best discussing this on a Bristol / Somerset forum

sorry

On 'the Bristol' form - referred to by 'Slowhands'

Elizabeth WAGSTAFF, c1811 marrying a George HOBBS c1811

The Church of Latter Day Saints have a marriage at Newland- 15 August 1832

and this in on our FOD records

George HOBBS of Stapleton in this County (which is BRISTOL)
witnesses: William HARRIS (could be the local butcher/or Mason Lab 1841 census for Newland - as George was a Mason Lab) and James BRASIER

although both state they were not from the FOD area, they married in Newland -

There is a Richard WAGSTAFF age 65 - Burial in Newland 18 February 1841 (from the Monmouth Workhouse) - may be a relative!

wonder why they 'married' in Newland and not in Bristol? - marriages quite often took place in the Bride's Parish

1841 Census, Fishponds Bristol - Civil Parish - STAPLETON

George HOBBS - 30
Elizabeth HOBBS - 30
William HOBBS - 8 (on the 1881 census c1834 born Fishponds - a Haulier 1871 census)
Anne HOBBS - 4
Samuel HOBBS - 1

Looking at the 1851 census, Fishponds, George and Elizabeth are both aged 41 and say they were born in Fishponds, Bristol
1861 Census, both aged 53 - born Stapleton - and right up to 1881 - Fishponds - with DOB's varying slightly.
- so the records would be in the Bristol & Avon Records Office. Family names are sometimes a good indicator of lineage.
