Thank you Slowhands

Reuben was just there as a Boarder, I know of no family connection. As you know a lot of Forest of Dean Miners moved to continue their work in other areas. In 1881 Reuben was with another family in Castleford. His brother Albert moved to the Illinois coalfields lodging with the Yemm family in Fulton Illinois, he then moved on to Colorado.
