Hi I'm sure somebody has already given this info somewhere but have searched and haven't been able to find out where it is held. Was very pleased to find your register of freeminers on the site and found Henry Frowen who became a freeminer in 1846.Can I find out which gale he worked? Thanks.

You will need to consult the Gavellers records

Thank you very much for your information.

Hi Euansma,
while researching another post tomight I came across this nice Frowen FH website that I thought may be of interest to you, seeing as Henry Frowen was in Coleford as is this Frowen family tree.

Hi Simone, thought it must be you, have seen your name on here before. Do you know where Henry worked? My sister lives in Cheltenham and we may be able to find out in the archives if you don't already know. Heather.

Hi Jeff thanks for that will have a look. In answer to your later post it is the Henry born 1818, although will have a look at the other one to see if he is one of ours as well. Thanks a lot.

Hi Heather

Is that Auntie Freda's Heather? How are you?

Not sure where he worked but Parkend Colliery ringing a bell for some reason?.. I know he lived there in 1851.

Thanks Jefff :)xx

William Henry b 1881, is grandson of Henry b 1818 and the son of our gt grandfather Henry b 1854.
William Henry married Lucy Thomas in November 1902.....

haha......suppose it would be easier to say your grandmother's and my grandfather's brother! uncle Bill 'chepstow' or 'monmouth' as he was known.

Hi Simone yes its me, still looking for new info. Glad the register of freeminers is on this site and was not really expecting to find Henry on it as thought he had always worked for other people.So would really like to have a look to see what gale he might have applied for and worked on. Yes Parkend is familiar to me too but it would be good to think he had his own patch at some time.Hope all is well with you, Heather.

Good to hear from you Heather. I have been a bit out of touch with research of late, must get back to it. will message you.
