Listers, Looking for information on my g x gr'fthr. James HALE,(b.1848) @ either Little Dean or Blakeney in the 'F.O'. D. who married on 12.Apr.1869, Rosina NASH, (b.1851). Children of this union (most born in the F.O.D.) :- Amos,b.1869; James,b.1872; Edwin,b.1874; Hubert,b. 1876; Evan,b.1878; Lucy,b.1882;(all born in F.O.D.). Rosina Jane,b.1885; Jemimah Florence,b.1887; Julia Ann,b. 1891; & Ellen Maud,b.1894. These last four children were born in the Ystradyfodwg Parish: Llwynypia, Tonypandy, Trealaw or Penygraig, areas of the Rhondda. I believe they came from the F.O.D. early 1890's to the Glamorgan coal fields, first coming in to Treharris the going further afield to find work. Has anyone out there some connection with any of the above, please be in contact. E-mail < [email protected] > Kind regards. Edwin.

Hi, I have tried to look at the following website www.old~maps.co.uk/ in order to ascertain where Breames Eaves and Woodside Bream were when the 1871 Census was taken. But I cannot access this website. Has anyone else had difficulty. Maybe I copied the address down wrong. I believe my HIGGINS family to be residing in Breames Eaves or Blisters then. In the 1871 film for Newland I came across Blisters but they were not there. However I didn't find Breames Eaves. On www.multimap.co.uk I found an area called The Eaves but could not see either Breames Eaves or Woodside Eaves. Would these two places now be known as The Eaves as per the "multimap" website. I have looked at the 1871 Census films for West Dean, Newland and Lydney all to no avail. Maybe I made the mistake of looking for the place rather than concentrating on every surname on the film. Can anyone with local knowledge help me further.

Dear Listers, I've noticed there are quite a lot of Colemans and Prices in the Lea, Long Hope, Huntley, Mickledean area and wonder if anyone on the list shares my interest? This is my line: Samuel PRICE b.

Hello Everyone, Does anyone know if Greenbottom is having an open day this year and if so when it will be? Many thanks Hazel

List people and particularly those in New Zealand, I have done the next stage of the James family of Lydney. If you are interested please look at http://www.hamrad.swinternet.co.uk. You need to click wc_toc.htm to start. I would be interested to receive any photos to add to this tree. Although I've done the chart I cannot take credit for the research. This must go to my brother Kenneth and to someone in New Zealand for their info. If you are that person please email me so that you can take the credit. Any updates would be welcome. Regards. Howard.

Children - Lily HARRIS. b. c 1864. Milson do c 1869 William do c 1870. In 1891 they lived at Chapel Hill, Whitecroft. Children then included my grandfather Caleb born July, 1879. My grandfather ,Caleb, became a collier and settled in Treherbert, Rhondda, Glamorganshire. He named his house 'Whitecroft'. Is there anybody researching the same HARRIS family? Any information gratefully received. Thanks for your time. Jocelyn Griffiths, nee HARRIS, Milford Haven, Pembrokeshire.

Hello all Didn't know Bream was also part of the Forest of Dean! In that case I have a query on another branch of the family. I have an Evangeline Eliza GEORGE who was born c1855 in Bream according to the 1881 Census. There is an Evangeline Eliza baptised in Ludlow, Shropshire in 1864, with no father and mother is named as Caroline GEORGE. I know that is a late baptism but the combination of names is unusual so I lean towards that being her. Also there is a Sarah Ann GEORGE baptised in 1868 in Newport Workhouse, Monmouth also to a single mother named Caroline, and Evangeline married in Newport in 1875 in the Baptist Chapel. So I believe that Sarah and Evangeline were sisters. The age Evangeline gives on her marriage certificate is consistent with her being the Evangeline born in 1855. However, on Evangeline's marriage certificate she names her father as William GEORGE, miner. 1) Is it likely that William was her father or would she have made him up to save face? 2) Is anyone else researching the name GEORGE and know anything of this Caroline? 3) Where do you suggest I go from here? Thanks to all, and for any with a touch of the Irish, Happy St Patrick's Day! Regards Samantha in Melbourne, Australia

Hello list I wondered if anyone knew where I might find more information regarding this pit at Mosely Green. My G.G.Grandfather (surname BRAIN) was killed in accident there between 1900 & 1920. Until I have done a bit more work on his family I don't know too much about him. I do know that he lived in Pilowell and his wife ran a sweetshop there. When he died she remarried an AKERS. Where might I find out more about this pit and the accident? All help appreciated. Regards Melanie Hayles Forest of Dean, Glos, U.K. Searching; PARKER, BRAIN, JENKINS and many more!

John I could probably go to Bream Churchyard on Saturday seeing as I live nearby. Let me know what you are looking for, and I'll do my best. Regards Melanie Hayles Forest of Dean, Glos, U.K. Searching; PARKER, BRAIN, JENKINS and others.
