Hi Mary. I'm sorry this reply has been a while coming! My daughter did text me but after reading the text it slipped my mind and I've only just remembered!
As Charlie has said Harriet Frowen was my Great Great Great Grandmother. I have done some research but I haven't had a great deal of success. I have also drawn a blank on any children born to Harriet before 1837 although my mother can remember an Aunt Kate who she thinks was the daughter of Mary Anne Evans who in turn she believed was Harriet's daughter. I believe that a Thomas Jarrett may be the father of some of Harriet's children.
So far, although I am by no means certain, it would appear that Harriet's children may be Susannah, Harriet, William, Elizabeth, Mary Anne,Angelina & a 2nd William who appears to have been born in December 1859, Christened in January 1860 & buried 23/4/1860. My link to Harriet is through her daughter Susannah Evans (18/3/1837 - 13/2/1932) who married Richard Addis. Their daughter was Sarah Anne Addis. Before she eventually married a Mr Preece/Preest? she had a daughter (my Grandmother) Augusta Elizabeth Addis (28/6/1877 - 8/7/1939).
Augusta was raised by Susannah as at the time her mother Sarah Anne was unmarried. Augusta married Henry Jones and went on to have ten children. The eldest of which was Avis Augusta and the youngest Winifred Hilda (my mother).
If you can find a copy, there is a book titled The Forest of Dean Revisited by Joyce Latham. (Printed by Sutton Publishing Limited, Phoenix Mill, Stroud Gloucestershire). On page 102 there is a photograph of Harriet, Susannah, Sarah, Augusta and my Aunt Avis - five generations! Avis was born in 1896 which I believe was the year that Stephen passed away.
I hope this is of interest and if I can help with more information please let me know. (One more thing which you may know already - I think Stephen may have had a twin brother Joseph. Their parents were George Evans and Mary Bevan. George and Mary were married at English Bicknor 27th May 1794. Both were born in English Bicknor - George in 1772 & Mary in 1768) Harriet is buried with her daughter Susannah and Richard Addis just to the left of the main doorway of English Bicknor Church.
Kind Regards Nick
