I am researching the harper family in Gloucestershire. I have managed to get back to Thomas ( 1838-1915 ) who married Thirza ( 1842-1929 ). They lived around Saul, near Stroud and had some children, including my grandfather, William ( 1874-1944). He moved up to Chorley with his brother percy and each married one of two Edge sisters. William married Nelly. They had my father, George ( 1905-1948) who married Edna Robinson. If anyone can help me go back further or who might be related to me, I'd really like to hear from them.....Tim Harper
