Hi, Recently joined the list in the hope of making contact with someone researching the TINGLE name. The 1901 census for Worksop gives my son-in-law's GGGrandfather as George TINGLE born 1833 at Coleford, Gloucestershire and his wife as Selina of the same birth place. Does some kind soul have access to the 1851 census for Coleford who could do me a look up please? Jessie in Worksop, Nottinghamshire "Gateway to The Dukeries"

Searching the West Dean census I came across a name I have been unable to find anywhere else KERSEY, the link to my uncle Garfield James ASTON is that the name was listed as his mothers maiden name, no other information of course. This is the information from the census 1851: KERSEY, Richard 52 Quarry master, Inn Keeper Sevenhampton Amelia 29 Inn Keeper Newland Richard 10 Newland Ann 5 West Dean Somehow or the other KERSEY, ASTON, BIBEY are all intertwined, I just haven't enough information on any of this to say "Uncle Jim was the nephew of Lois ASTON, who married John BIBEY, etc. I am hoping someone knows someone who might be researching the name or might have some knowledge of the name. I want to thank Mike who has helped me the first time I posted my names, I wrote and thanked him personally but would like to thank him through the list. It is so very much appreciated for people like me who live in the US. Alice California

Well, folks, I must say that you definitely the most helpful and informative bunch I've come across yet on these genealogy mailing lists. Whilst there's been no specific response yet to the Brooks query, the tips, suggestions, and general information that came in response to my query, was almost over-whelming! Thank you all very much. One point that was raised by Pam Thornbury (isn't she lovely and helpful?), was that the address listed in the Census, looked more like that of a house in the Works' Housing, so the note that I added about the name of the farm should be ignored. Perhaps Matthew Brooks, when telling his grandson that he and his siblings were all born in the farmhouse, was polishing up his life story a little, and they had previously lived in one of the terraces, and we were wrong to assume that the address given on the Census was merely a code to assist in processing the information, such as the codes we are given now for our houses which aren't in standard streets. Kate.

Hi , CLem, I was interested to see your posting, and I am looking at my info. and will get back to you if there is a connection, Regards, Anne-Marie ¡

Here are some details of my WATKINS of Ruardean, Gloucestershire, England I am descended from Esther WATKINS (b.1838) a daughter of John WATKINS (b.1811). Esther had 7 children, all presumably illegitimate as there is no mention of a father. All have the surname of WATKINS. Joseph (b.1867) my Great-grandfather is one of those 7 children. Most of this information has been obtained from censuses. Of the 7 children, I have only managed to find a record of one birth, that of Oliver. On his birth certificate the fathers name is left blank. I'm sure there is more to it than meets the eye, especially as the way illegitimacy was looked upon in those times, hopefully something will come to light in the future.

Hi Folks! This morning, I discovered that my gt-gt-grandfather, THOMAS BROOKS, came from the Forest of Dean. So we all had a wee bout of good cheer at finally getting to know something of the paternal line beyond my grandfather. Then I rushed off to find some old maps and this mailing list, finding from the maps that we know the area fairly well from visiting an unrelated family friend up through the forest from Drybrook. So here I am, freshly subscribed, and already about to beg for information! Here follow the 1881 and 1891 census records for Thomas and his family. Although the first few records are not in the Forest of Dean, I'm including those details, in case anyone reading this has lost Thomas Brooks! 1881 Census Place: BEDWELLTY, Monmouth, Wales; Dwelling: 21st Row 273 [known as Careg Pica, a farmhouse that overlooked the towns of Tredegar & Ebbw Vale] Name, Relation, Marital Status, Sex, Age, Occupation, Birthplace ---------------------------------------------------------------------- BROOKS, THO., Head, M, 42, M, Coal Miner, FOREST OF DEAN, Glos, Eng BROOKS, SARAH, Wife, M, 35, F, Coal Miner Wife, Pembroke, Wls BROOKS, WILLIAM, Son, U, 11, M, Scholar, EBBW VALE, Monmouth, Eng BROOKS, MATHEW, Son, U, 09, M, Scholar, SIRHOWY, Monmouth, Eng BROOKS, THOS.

So, does anyone have any information on this Brooks family? Or perhaps access to a pre-1881 Census for East Dean? An 1861 Census would be brilliant (or '51 or '41), as Thomas would still have been at home, then, whilst in 1871, he'll probably be found on the other side of the Dyke. Could someone point me towards a map of the parish boundaries, or any other useful, preferably on-line, resources? This game is new to me, having started a couple of weeks ago, and then just as I was getting into it, the computer finally upped & died, after a prolonged struggle against the inevitable! If anyone does want any information, I can provide bare details from Matthew down to his gt-gt-gt-grandchildren. Only one of his grandchildren is still alive. Yours in much hope, and gleeful anticipation, (its still early days, I'm told, when lost relatives and ancestors drop out of the woodwork at every turn!) xx Kate.
