Abstract of the title of Mr Thomas Wall and wife to a messuage, garden, orchard and Malthouse at Hanham in the parish of Bitton in the county of Gloucestershire

The first reference to a Nurse family living in the Hanham Abbots area of Hanham was the baptism of William Dolman (Nors) son of Samuel Nors on 12th April 1778 at St. George's Hanham, a chapelry of the Parish of St Mary, Bitton.

As mentioned in the previous article, Samuel and his wife Rachel (nee Dolman) were married in the neighboring parish of Keynsham on the 11th October 1772. It has not been completely proven that this Samuel was the same Samuel that was baptised in Compton Dando, but a review of the evidence indicates that it was very likely.
