    Just to introduce myself:

    I was born and raised in Gloucester (the city) but for the majority of my life have lived outside the county. My ancestral lines seem to be principally from Herefordshire and the Forest of Dean though Wiltshire also plays some part. The families in which I have an interest are:

    BEACH (Bream, Newland)
    BEARD (Cliffords Mesne, Newent)
    BENNETT (Gloucester & Wiltshire)
    BYETT (Awre)
    COLE (Brookthorpe, Eastington)
    EUSTACE (Staverton)
    HILL (Awre)
    HOPKINS (Blakeney Hill)
    JOHNSON (Blakeney Hill)
    KEAR (Awre, Blakeney, Blakeney Hill, Bream, Clearwell, Newland, St Briavels)
    MARSHALL (Awre)
    MASON (Brierley)
    PHILLIPS (Newland)
    PREW (Snowshill, Winchcombe)
    SIMS (Cliffords Mesne, Slimbridge, Taynton)
    THOMAS (Bream)
    TOWNSEND (Churchdown)
    TURLEY (Blakeney Hill)
    WATKINS (Cinderford)
    WELLS (Taynton, Winchcombe)
    WILKS/WILKES (Arle (Cheltenham), Boddington)
    WILSE (Awre)
    YEMM (Awre, Blakeney)

    I hope there may be a degree of overlap with someone's researches.

    Cheers,

    Tony Williams

    I'm reseaching the Cadle and Whittington families. My great grandfather was William Cadle, he married Annie Caswell Whittington 14 Mar 1861. They had 11 children. William died at the age of 49 on 14 Nov 1878. I have found some information about the Cadle's but absolutely nothing about Annie's side of the family.

    Hi,
    I am looking to link up with anyone researching ancestors of the Seyer family of Bristol and Gloucester, including descendants of the Rev Samuel Seyer, historian of Bristol and Rector of a parish in Westbury on Trym. Also the Engley family of London and Gloucester.
    Look forward to hearing from you,

  • Lorna Mary Vincent

    I'm building a tree on Ancestry for my neighbour and his surname is Gwinnell -- I have worked the tree back to 1700's in Eastington,Gloucestershire -- he was born Bristol where some of the family moved too. Are there more researchers doing the Gwinnell family amongst others that they have married into?
  • Denis Savard

    Looking for the Bristol/Westbury-upon-Trym CROUZETs. Is there anyone available to take a photo at the Bristol City archives? Their fees are steep... :( John Crouzet 1819 Will is listed in their index. Merci!
  • Denis Savard

    Looking for the birth about 1767 John Crouzet, of Westbury-upon-Trym at his marriage with Elizabeth Crisp on 16 Oct 1788 (Phillip & Jacob ch. of Bristol). John is a paper shop owner, but there is a gingerbread maker of the same name at the time.
