Staunton near Coleford Parish and Bishops Transcriptions (General)

Hi Everyone,

I am researching a Thomas Tummy who appears to have lived in Churcham Parish, being buried there on 5th October 1783. I believe he may be my 6th Grandfather.
His wife's name was Mary.....

Because of other family members records i have found, I am hopeful he may have originated or been married in Staunton near Coleford.

As the Parish BDM register is in pretty poor condition (seen on Ancestry) with plenty of blanks and faded ink, i thought if I could locate the Bishops Transcription register, it could prove promising.

The earliest record I have been able to find was the baptism of his son Richard in Churcham on 23rd March 1734
Richard married Sarah Blewett in Weston under Penyard on 11th May 1762.

Taynton and Longhope Parishes also figure in other relations records.

Does anyone have any suggestions for locating the Bishops Transcripts ?

Maybe a wild goose chase (I have been on plenty of these). But also it could be fruitful.

Thank you

Sid Toomey
