Thanks very much MPG for pointing out this great website !
Browsing this site does help us understand how the ancient Parishes looked before the dramatic changes brought about by the Industrial Revolution eg my father's line originates from Lydbrook, which barely existed then as-such, need to see Walford etc. They come under Bromsash, Herefordshire; eg nearby Ruardean had only 4 households and I thought that was one of the really old villages !

Thanks again, for someone dim like me who's tried reading the Domesday books and struggled a little, this is a great help.
