I am a new member of this group, and I have joined because my family
lived and worked in Congresbury since 1840, up until around 1945. They
were the Lidbury family, and amongst other things, owned the bakery in
Broad Sreet (Causeway) from around 1874 until the 1920s. I am also
interested in the Sainsbury family, who were prominant in the village
at this time too. If anybody has any information on either of the above
families, I would be delighted to hear from you.
