{sorry managed to edit this rather than reply - Slow }

A name might help to track down in the Archives. Carnival Queen is probably what we will be looking for......

thanks,
the name is Emily Ellen Williams, but also, where do i find info on the contest?

So I guess this is her :-

Year: 1912
Month: Oct
Day: 28
Parents_Surname: WILLIAMS
Child_Forenames: Emily Ellen
Fathers_Forenames: Arthur Edward
Mothers_Forenames: Bertha
Mothers_Surname:
Residence: Ruspidge
Occupation: miner
Officiating_Minister: F W Baldwin vicar
Event: Baptism
Memoranda:
Notes:
Register_Reference: P85/1 IN 1/3
Page_Number: 23
Parish_Chapel: Cinderford St John

so probably late 1920's before she was a Carnival Queen ( 16 + at a guess )

Yes, that's her, and yes, I assumed mid 1920s, not sure how ages for carnival queens worked then.

I'm still looking for info on the Cinderford Carnival in 1920s. any ideas on where fo look for information and photos?

A good starting point would be the local newspapers.
