Hi List I have been reliably informed that the above address is very close to Littledean Parish Church..... I wonder if there are any local photographs or postcards of this particular area.....the reason I wish to see them is the following entry on the 1881 census, which is the home of my GtGrandmother Mary Jane HOPKINS.
