Hi,I have traced one branch of my tree to Charles Snell,bc1673,and his wife Ann/e Hathaway,bc1677,married in 1697.Charles parents were William Snell and Melior.I have not been able to find Melior's birth surname.Ann's parents were Edward Hathaway and possibly Ann.Again,no surname.Would be very grateful for any info on these blanks or any other pointers.

Hi Jan,
please can you add a little more background as to where this family lived etc ?. I've searched this site's Forum & PRs for clues but as yet without success.
Thanks.

Dyrham is some way out of the Forest of Dean. Is there a connection ?

Thank you Slowhands for this info.I had thought that Dyrham was an area in the forest itself.I'll have to spend a bit more time looking at maps!Thanks,Jan
