Hi List Found my GtGrandmother on the 1881 census.....Mary Jane HOPKINS....... I wonder now....has anyone got any other census for this address or any information about James or Elizabeth HOPKINS.........or any information which would help me. Is Eastdean....classed as The Forest of Dean.........Are there any churches which I can find the records of.........on-line......?? The 1881 states he was a coal miner....would this be in the Welsh Coal Mines? I have checked the Genuki site for East Dean....but unfortunately there is not a great deal of information on it.
