Sorry - starting again. I see the previous thread was getting over-long.

http://www.forum.forest-of-dean.net/index.php?mode=page&id=2 gives the marriage of Thomas (stonecutter) James's son Theophilus (Benjamin's bro), who is already described as a 'gardener' there, in 1849. Marrying Elizabeth Butt - hasn't that name cropped up before ?

An older Theophilus, also a gardener, would make perfect sense, if both Benjamin and the younger Theophilus end up gardening.

There was a Theophilus James baptised in 1818 (Mitcheldean Cong.), parents George and Ann; age about right, but parents' names don't ring any bell. Maybe ?
