St Pauls Parkend St James Bream from memory S

Hi Jenny Many thanks for this! I was right I think that John was the oldest and glad to find an Arthur as in 1891 Shadrach has a grandson called Arthur Shadrach Jenkins ! (as yet I don't know who's son) I have lots of leads now for next step of research. (this all started from an "idea" to reasearch my maternal line which will go back now through Sarah Davis and also because I received a small photo in a broach when my aunt died at christmas. I believe the photo must be Sarah H or Sarah below judging by the costume) Again. many thanks Janet ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jenny Smith" <jms.ciren@virgin.net> To: <ENG-GLOS-FOREST-DEAN-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, May 31, 2004 6:57 PM Subject: [FoD] Jenkins/Davies > For Janet > I have the following > 1871 census > Bream Eaves. > Shadrach JENKINS age 39 Iron Ore Miner born West Dean > Sarah age 44 " > John age 14 " > Rachel age 10 " > Arthur age 7 " > Emma?/ Evan? age 5 " > William T 3 " > Sarah H age 10 mon " > > In the good old days B.C.

Hi John WOW - I think you have them!! It fits in with my theory from 1851 census ie mother Maria widowed with son Meshach ! I need to use Parloc now to find Parkend - do you know the name of the church?

I'm a new member to the list searching for the birthplace of my paternal grandmother: HARRIETT EMILY HALE, b. Feb. 23, 1885. (She had a twin sister family members called Sadie.) She always told me she was "from" Nailbridge over Drybrook, near Harry Hill, and I assumed she was born there. However, I've not found her in that area. Her parents left Grandma with family when they first immigrated to the U.S. (Grandmother followed in 1904-05.) I'm beginning to think that she lived with family in that area but perhaps was not born there. I'm really not sure--have hit nothing but brick walls for a number of years!) I'm also looking for birthplaces and any other clues that may help me discover more about my great grandparents: JAMES ALFRED HALE--After he immigrated, he worked as a coal miner for a short time in Snow Shoe, Pennsylvania and then in Illinois where he settled permanently so I'm thinking he was a miner in perhaps the Forest of Dean area. He was born May 16, 1865. According to her death certificate, his wife, HARRIETT PRICE was born in Cinderford on March 30, 1862. Her father was JOHN PRICE (b. April, 1833). He is listed in the 1910 U.S. census as an alien in the household of James and Harriett HALE, was a widow and father-in-law to James Hale. He listed his occupation as "hostler." I'm thinking that he returned to England very soon because I've not found his name listed in any other records, and family members never recalled him or hearing anything about him. I'd appreciate hearing from anyone who may be researching these names. As I mentioned, I've been hitting a brick wall for a number of years. Thank you for any assistance.

For Janet I have the following 1871 census Bream Eaves. Shadrach JENKINS age 39 Iron Ore Miner born West Dean Sarah age 44 " John age 14 " Rachel age 10 " Arthur age 7 " Emma?/ Evan? age 5 " William T 3 " Sarah H age 10 mon " In the good old days B.C. [before Computers] I copied out all the Jenkins from 1841-1891 from originals, No Shadrach before 1871 in the Forest. However, I did not check the outer areas, on the Severn etc. Ill check again other items. I had a quick look at the P.R's I had transcribed, for Bream, Newland and Clearwell, no luck. Maybe they were Non Conformist? My JENKINS were in Clearwell/Ellwood George and Sarah Mousel George and Elizabeth Bushell and George and Ellen Hoare from Jernny Smith

Hello It would be neat if we could make a connection! Shadrach Jenkins is my gggrandfather and came from Bream but that is all I know at the moment as fact. I am trying to get a hold of some ideas to follow for further research. I outline one in my email. I agree that George the lodger is a safer bet for you but if he is 20 then he won't be a brother to Shadrach unless he is a twin. He could well be a cousin. There were a lot of Jenkins in Woodside Bream at the time. Thanks for your info, if I can make a link with any of them I'll let you know, Thanks again Janet Howell ----- Original Message ----- From: "John Wilding" <john.wilding1@btinternet.com> To: "Janet Singleton" <Hywel@risinsun.co.uk> Sent: Monday, May 31, 2004 8:35 AM Subject: Re: [FoD] JENKINS / DAVIES > Hello Janet > > Your message has struck a few chords with me - Caroline Baldwin was my > GGGrandmother!! > > I believe that she married George Jenkins who was 20 on the 1851 census and > shown to have been born in Bath.

Hi No, there isn't a Shadrach but there is a lodger of right age living next door to who I believe becomes his wife just down the road from who I believe is his mother and brother (see details on my email) Shadrach, Meshach and Adednego are a famous trio of biblical names. I was hoping someone had access to 1871 or 1861 census for me to check my theory.

Hi Thank-you. This is father and oldest son who have moved from the coal mines in Gloucestershire to those in the Potteries where I am now, In 1881 his wife and family are still in Bream but by 1891 they are all together in the Potteries. I don;t suppose you have access to the 1871 census?

Following information from 1881 and 1891 census and 2 birth certs I have the following Family so far seems to be name born / place 1891 / 1881 Shadrach Jenkins 1832 Lidney / Bream Sarah Jenkins (neeDavies) 1827 Lidney / Bream Woodside John Jenkins 1857 ? / Bream cert 8th March 1857 reg Coleford William Jenkins 1868 Lidney / ? Sarah Hannah Jenkins 1870 Lidney / Bream Woodside cert 30th May1870 reg Coleford John may well be the oldest but I am sure there must be more children. I can't find anything on IGI (Shadrach is proving elusive). They were living at West Dean in 1870 when Sarah was born. Using the 1851 Glo census for West Dean online I did find 13 DAVIS William 75 Wood Collier Kemple/Remple? Mary 63 Newent Sarah 24 Dressmaker West Dean Caroline Grand daughter 7 West Dean 14 BALDWIN Frances Widow/er 51 Woolaston Caroline 17 West Dean John 12 Coal Miner West Dean FREEMAN Samuel Lodger 23 Coal Miner West Dean JENKINS Lodger 2- Coal Miner Newland 47 JENKINS Maria Widow/er 55 West Dean Mesach ? 12 Coal Miner West Dean Alice 11 West Dean I am working on the theory that this is my Shadrach (lodger) aged 20 living next door to his future wife with his mother and brother Mesach (name fits!) living a few houses away. I remember seeing on a mining history web site that a Meshach Jenkins died aged 18. Can anyone add any details to this or come up with helpful suggestions for further searches on line? In particular it would help to see the family on 1861 or 1871 census as I know they were at Bream, West Dean then for both John and Sarah's births. (They have emigrated to Staffordshire by 1891) Many thanks in anticipation Janet Howell

List, I haven't been on for awhile and thought I might try again to locate any information for my Great Great Grandparents Richard BIBIEY and wife Mary Anne MARTIN of West Dean. They were married 1829 in Gloucester County and were "of the Hundreds of St Briavels". The witnesses were Thos. and Anne BIBEY. Their son John BIBEY was my Great Grandfather. I would like to find out who Richards parents were and also any information for Mary Anne MARTIN and her family. If they were "of age" when they married I figure they were probably born between 1805 /09?? If anyone is researching this surname or has any information would you please contact me. I would appreciate it. Alice

Dear List members I am a new member of this list and hope that SKS amy be able to assist me. I have among my database a Herbert Powell, born in 1869/1870 in Berry Hill, which I am led to believe is in Glos. I have found him in the 1901 Census but so far have been unable to track him down in any of the 1871,1881 or 1891 Censuses. Any info would be much appreciated. David

Dear Fellow Listers, I appreciate that you'd rather be soaking up the sun or tending to your flower beds and the like, but could I ask for one small favour please? I was recently contacted by a possible "distant cousin" via Genes connected. Our whole new relationship is hanging on a single marriage between David Williams of Llangennech, Carmarthen and Mary Rogers, I believe of Trevethin, Monmouth, England. The marriage took place at Trevethin on 29 April 1837. David's father we are assuming is John William/s, also of Carmarthen. Neither of us are able to get to the local records office to look at the Parish entry for this marriage, and I don't know wether it's in Gloucester or perhaps in Newport. Could someone please suggest the best place to start searching, or if at all possible, look-up the entry for this marriage. We are hoping that either a brother of David or even his father may have been present as a witness. David's brothers were John, Jobe, William, Daniel and Joseph. I hope someone may be able to offer a chink of light. Thank you in eager anticipation John Nelson
