Hi
Does anyone know of a connection between the Heaven family in the Forest mainly around East Dean/ and the Heaven families in the Frocester and Leonard Stanley areas of Gloucestershire?
Any assistance would be much appreciated.
Thanks

In case you haven’t come across them here are a few apparent links between Frocester and Newent/Dymock/Bromsberrow. Perhaps these are worth exploring further?
