Williams - Coalway (General)

Hello,

Although my Williams family originate from Llandogo, my gr grandfather came to Coalway and married Martha nee Rosser.

He was Henry John Williams who is listed as a publican (Crown Inn) and butcher at Coalway in the 1890's and early 1900's

Martha died soon after their second child Olive was born (1902) and Olive was brought up in Coleford by a family called (I believe) Wyatt.

I am looking for background info, as I also believe Martha was an artist and a schoolmistress but I can't seem to find out any more than that.

Does anyone know anything about these families or where the butchers shop was?
or can someone please point me towards some records that may help.
