(perhaps this also be added to my last post, as the JAMES seems to reside in Joyford)

re: Elizabeth JAMES - christened at Newent, Culver Street Chapel, Methodist - 10 October 1830

there is a burial at Christchurch - 29 February 1832

Elizabeth JAMES - residence: JOYFORD

age: 18 months

Looking at the map, Christchurch to Joyford is 2.6 miles

Only just spotted your post here. Poor little lass. Ties in well, indeed. Many thanks, m.p.g. .....

PS May I ask where you turned her up ? I can't find her on a PR search ...

In case MPG doesnt see this today, perhaps she's out on the golf course, she has access to Ancestry, other LH websites, plus a huge collection of various Gloster Archives cd-roms etc etc as well as this site's PRs. More importantly she's very experienced and exceptionally good at finding things some of us dont readily see, a real boon to the forum.
That said, in this post she's made a small error, the only one I recall seeing in my three years here whereas I make several and bigger ones!, the distance was meant to read 2.6 miles not 26; maybe there's hope for me yet... probably not ;-)

Ah ! I should have reliased that 26 was a bit much ....
