Looking
for information on John Wotton Pengelly in the period 1884-1898 when he
lived and died in the Forest of Dean.

Born 1813 in Stonehouse,Plymouth
I have all his Census records and his marriage to Sarah
Couperthwaite,his 30+ years with the church in Blackburn Lancs,all
pretty ordinary then it starts to get a bit more interesting ,the death
of his wife ,resigning the ministry ,marrying his Housekeeper Ellen
Wheal who was 31 years younger than him in Worcester in 1884 and moving
to Sandford House ,Aylburton.

I thought he had "retired" but it seems not, he is listed as the curate
in charge at a wedding in 1884 at Alvington,which I spotted on a Google
search for him,but when I search on here I don't come up with him at
all.Am I putting in the wrong terms?,or are the records not
transcribed?did he do more services?Was he the vicar?,was Sandford house
the vicarage?

There is a transcript of his will out there somewhere I have the
details ,but can I find it again ,tried all different search terms but
too no avail.

Can anybody shed any light on his last 14 years?. Any help greatly
appreciated.
Thanks JWP
