Hello Michael, If you have the year and name I'll have a look and see if I am able to find the details you are hunting. Years available are 1800 - 1870.

Dear Gordon My great-great-grandmother was married to a NELMS before she married my great-great-grandfather. Her name was Adelaide BRADLEY and she married John NELMS of Ruardean. The 1851 census has them living with her mother, Elizabeth at Ruardean Woodside. They later had two sons, John and Timothy. Interestingly enough, my grandfather, who was no blood relation was named John Nelms COOKE. I know who have indicated Lydney as the location for your NELMS but perhaps you have come across mine in your travels, particularly Adelaide as I have been having difficulty locating a record of her second marriage to my gggrandfather, Elmes COOKE. It appears that she lost her first husband and second husband within the space of about 10 years, probably in the mines as they were both in that line of work. Would be interested to know if you have come across anybody that you think may belong to my tree. There are quite a few of them in the 1851 census living in Lydney and I have some names of other researchers who may like to hear from you.

I researchers I am looking for any person who have in their family trees, the Surnames TUDOR, BEARD, & HOBBY. The Tudor's I belive left the forest and went over to Slimbridge, Glos and then spred out. The BEARD's went to the forrest to work in the mines etc . My BEARD, s are from Berkeley and surrounding areas, may be some from as far away as Wiltshire. The HOBBY's not sure where they came from or where they ended up. Other names researching, TROTMAN, HEWER, PRATT, LUSMORE/LOOSEMORE, SMITH (W.u.E.) and BRAIN, The Brain's are the ones from Eastington, Stonehouse, married into the FIGGETT's of Kemerton, Glos many regards Alf Beard

G'Day Gloucestershire, Am I on the correct list for the villages/towns of Coaley and Cowley? My paternal Great Grandmother, Susanna(h) Gunter b. 14-12-1835 came from one of these places. She arrived with her parents, Samuel and Eliza (Webb) Gunter on the "Susan" on 10-3-1839, together with siblings Samuel Dennis b 6-12-1827 and Mary Ann Jane b 16-8-1831. Samuel was the son of Samuel (a weaver by trade) and Ester (Esther/Hester) (Smith) Gunter. Samuel b 14-6-1801 married Eliza Webb (from Brighton) on 17-9-1827. I would like to know from which place they came; are there any living descendants still living around there; where on the Internet can I find more details of any descendants still in Gloucestershire? Thanks for any help Nev Davis in sunny Yamba, NSW, Australia.

Hi, I am looking for more information to go on the website http://www.stmartinscastletonlancs.fsnet.co.uk/somit.htm Sorry it does not give direct access straight to the monument inscription you might be looking for. Instead it is to help you to find out whether the church/cemetery has been surveyed, and where to find the information. Please, please let me know if your library/records office holds monument inscription transcriptions. It can than be added for the benefit of others. Best wishes, Gerald Parker __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Get personalized email addresses from Yahoo! Mail http://personal.mail.yahoo.com/

May I suggest that you version of the census has some transcription errors. To the best of my knowledge and references there is no Sydney in Glos This is likely to be Lydney, florrid L's can be mistaken for an S. The only Sydney in UK appears to be in Cheshire. Wilkelwood Glam also has me beat! but I am not such an expert on Glamorgan geography.. however there are no clues in the old maps gazetteer (see - http://www.old-maps.co.uk/) Waunarlwydd or Llangynwyd may be a closer match remembering the census was often taken orally, and then written in a 19th century hand and then transcribed by a 20th century reader. The entry in this case was taken in York where the welsh/ forest accent of the Pocketts may have been almost a foreign language!!!! When I was at school in Coleford (early 60's) there was a family of POCKETTs in the town. I am afraid they had a bit of a reputation, and much reference could be found to them in the Magistrate Court and Petty Sessions reports of the local newspapers!!!!

My Williams family moved from Kempley to the Forest of Dean, where I lose track of most of them. Has anybody else found them? Regards, Sara White

Reposting my interest in my HIGGINS family. I have: Thomas born somewhere between 1825 and 1837 in HEF Thomas' father was a William Thomas married and had the following children: Harriet born about 1858 in Monmouth Alice born about 1863 in Pilloswell FOD Thomas born in 1866 to Thomas and Mary Ann Vines Marriage of Thomas and Mary Ann Vines in 1868 in Bream Mary ) William ) all born in the Blisters/Woodside Bream/ Albert ) Breames Eaves area Kate ) Charles born 1882 in Little Dean, GLS I am also led to believe there was an Andrew & an Aubrey - have found no trace of these two. Alice appears in 1881 to be in Westbury on Severn Kate ends up in Mardy in South Wales in the 1900's Charles appears in Aber in South Wales in 1905 before marrying and living in Mardy as well. Any information would be appreciated. I am looking for any trace of this family from 1882 onward.

Hi This is my first message to the list. Looking for any reference to the name of Draisey. The family came from the Tortworth area of Glos: to find work in the coal fields of the Forest. Best wishes Nick.

Hello, This is my first message to the list. Am searching for a Thomas Gough, who left the Forest of Dean sometime before 1789 with a gang of men to prospect for coal in south Derbyshire. Is anyone researching the name Gough in the Forest of Dean? Do you have a missing Thomas? He married in Newhall, Derbys in 1789 and died there in 1812 - but where was he born? I have an article in which his great grandson states that he came from the Forest of Dean but no other clues. I know there are/were Gough families in Mitcheldean, Bream and St Briavels. Only one possible Thomas on IGI b. Mitcheldean but family naming patterns don't fit this one. Anyone have any ideas? Ros Stoke-on-Trent
