Hi Antony, Hi Slowhands
Re your E mail , It's amazing all this information, you and Slowhands are finding, I am trying to take it all in and the picture is gradually forming
for me.
I believe Wood Jenkins and his wife had six children that would be My Grandfather, William Wood Jenkins, a brother Frank Jenkins,a sister Kate Jenkins,and a second Sister Louisa Jenkins, But I dont know the other two.

Around 1952 I had a holiday in Coleford, and one of my late fathers Aunties
took me out each day I am not sure but i believe she lived at Rose Cottage,
Coalway, and I now know that My Fathers Step Mother Lidia Laura Jenkins nee Hughes died there in 1936, I wondered which one of dads aunties could have been living at that address in 1952 she would have been in her eighties.
and dad said she smoked forty ciggies a day plus Bingo at the local Club every Friday.She would have been a Daughter of Wood Jenkins, I would presume, then again she could have descended from Gradfathers second wife Laura Jenkins nee Hughes.

That twist that you found Tony confirming a link between the two Jenkins family's is another surprise, and as you say it's confirmation of the missing Link.

I have learned so much from you two guys, it's amazing , do you both enjoy Good wine and if so maybe I can send you some via my trip to England this September when I am visiting my daughter in Romsey .,
