Thanks, Slowhands for putting me on the trail of Martin Wintle -- from the IGI & various years of the census, I have established now that Martin was the son of Samuel & Maria Wintle of Yew Tree Farm , Rodley. Samuel was the brother of Joseph Wintle the draper (my GGfather) and their parents John & Ann were also the parents of James Wintle, the other Bristol linen draper, so that's cleared up that mystery - they were two brothers & a nephew. A sister, Susanna, married Edmund Vimpany of Saul in 1811, but they died in 1821 &1819 respectively, leaving their son, Edwin, to become James Wintle's business partner (1841 census). He seems to have died, as I can't find him on later years. Martin Wintle took over James Wintle's business & seems to have stayed in Bristol. Now it's back to the Parish registers for Thomas & Sarah, the parents of John.
