Roger, West Dean seems to be a term used to describe the east side of the Forest. I'm not sure what the exact geographical limits are, but from what I've seen, Coleford, Newland and St Briavels all fall into this area.

Any help appreciated Thanks in anticipation Roger in Stalham Norfolk
I think that sounds like a good match (and yes, East Dean is counted in the Forest of Dean). My next step would be to check the 1891 census. Then check the marriage registers at the FRC (plus, of course FreeBMD, etc.) for wedding details. Start at about 1892 and work forwards.

Hi Steve Thank you for the information you have given me.....as I was writing the e-mail...thought I would give the 1881, just one more try.....knowing my Mum said GtGrandma had a sister who she called Aunt Mella (married a bargee) .....I thought what would this be short for....so I started searching for Amelia, Emily......never thought of Carmella, until it sort of jumped out at me.....I always say, there is someone up there giving us a helping hand........ Now will try and find a copy of the 1891.........not out till next year is it? After I posted I also tried the Free BMD site and found Carmella married in Keighley........Dec 1898......so another piece in the jig-saw. I had sort of given up on this with the name Mary Jane HOPKINS....so many of them...especially this close to Wales......glad I remembered the Mella! Thanks again Jan

Hi Hazel and listers Many thanks for the info on the people who had The Heywood Inn. For your info,(although you probably know already!) William Critchley was the son in law of John Preddy,they were both living at the pub in 1881. But the previous owner George Rudge, is particularly fascinating for me.I have a George Rudge who was distantly related (Something like a great uncle in law,if that's possible!) to John Preddy and William Critchley.He was born in East Dean and was still living there in 1851. His son, another George Rudge was a miner in Normanton,Yorks in 1881(with another son George!) So it's possible that either of these Georges are the one who was landlord from 1869 to 1878. Are there any more details Hazel? Please let me know if there are! If anyone would like further details please email me. It's a shame the pub has closed,I would like to buy you all a drink there! Choose another pub! Cheers Simon

<< Am I on the correct mailing list-correct area? >> Hi Avril, So sorry to hear that no-one answered your request on 8th Oct. For starters here is the map, type in Forthampton in quick search slot, and you will see it is near Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire. You may be better off to join Gloucester List, the address is below. It is a much busier list, so you will get more response, but no reason why you shouldn't stay on this list also. http://uk2.multimap.com/map/places.cgi For Maps [email protected] Just type subscribe in the main text area as normal, and send. Good Luck with your research, and best wishes.....Hazel
