WINTOUR Cecil, Lydney (General)

Hello all,

My name is Judith and im trying to trace my late mum's side of the family. My mum was a Wintour and the last of our family. I have no one to ask as both grandparents are deceased as well as my mum, and there are no other family members who can help.

My grandfather was called Cecil Roach, and he married my granny, Ivy Irene Roach, of Loughor, Swansea, they had a child named Joy (whose name I carry as a middle name) who died when sne was bout 3yo. They then later had my mum called Jill. They had no other children.

My lovely grandad passed away when i was about 3, in the late 70's yet i remember him vividly, especially his rich Gloucester accent. All I know is he possibly hailed from a farm in Lydney and I think he had brothers.

I'm afraid this is all I have to go on, but am desperate to know more as I am so very proud to be part of this line.

Here's to hoping someone can help me.
