Thanks for this. All I know is that Emma Howells was living in Sheffield in 1881. The family she lived with were teachers. In the area where they were living were a large number of police officers as it was very close to what was/still is/ the main police station. Coalway is where my Rook family lived (not just one branch of it but several)so I would be surprised if there were no connection. As the name Hancox was that of one of the other men who moved from Coleford to Sheffield to work at Osborn Mushet, could the Hancox have been related to Emma's mother (nee Hancock)? The Mr. Hancox in question was called George. I have tried to find out more about the other men who came to Sheffield but I have not found anything conclusive (I don't know essential things like their date of birth etc) and I wonder whether some might have gone back to the Forest of Dean or moved on elsewhere?
If you have more information I'd be pleased to hear it, meanwhile it would be interesting to see whether Emma married, whether she moved back to Coleford etc.
