I have ordered the six STEPHENS Wills, excluding the St Briavels ones - See what turns up.

Have typed out the Wills (1793) (1800) of Henry STEPHENS of Lydney as much as I can read, photocopying dark round the edges, and some words difficult to read ) - and sent today to the FoD website.

Henry STEPHENS (Snr) 1793 (my x Grandfather)
Henry STEPHENS (Jnr) 1800

In Henry's Will 1800 - he talks about paying for a flat stone to be placed on his Father's and Mother's grave in Lydney Church with their ages.

Did try to find this grave last year to give Henry Snr's age at death- but this is a large churchyard, with an overgrown section - and some headstones badly worn.
