Tidenham is very much considered a parish in the Forest of Dean.

The defn. of Forest may mean different things to different folk :-)

Do we take a very limited view and take part of the "Free Miner" approach and only accept those who lived in the Hundred of St Briavels - Should we ignore those living in the Hundreds of Bledisloe or Greytree ?

or, do we say "Only those BMD's registered in Westbury on Severn - Should we ignore those from Chepstow, Ross , Monmouth, and Newent ?

Broadly west of the Severn and Gloucestershire; there is no hard and fast "boundary" for this board, just apply some common sense. i.e. if the family you are interested came from Mid Wales , Kent or Lancashire , and you have no linkage to this area then you are probably best contacting a Forum that specialises in that area , or a general family History forum.

We generally try to help but our expertise / knowledge is in this core area and the further away the less the detailed knowledge we have.
