The Tovey name in the Forest of Dean (Parish Records)

I thought I would throw a slightly off beam element into this fascinating conversation! Toveys is the name of a long established (1860s) funeral director in Newport (my home town). You may already know that but I mention it as some of my Forest connections ended up in Newport no doubt as it was one of the fastest growing places in the area at that time.

Hi Paul,

Yes, I'm aware of the Tovey brothers in Newport, but I don't believe that there is a family connection. Thanks for getting in touch and, yes, my post has certainly made for a fascinating conversation!
