Thanks Slowhands

The article makes facinating reading. I had to double check some locations but having read it three time it now makes sense.

I am still trying to confirm when my family settled in Clearwell and where they came from, a clue may be with Jerimiah (Jeremy). He was a resident of Clearwell at the birth of his children in 1770 and 1775. Jeremy probably moved to Clearwell from Bream.

We also have a Mary born to a William and Elizabeth in 1750 I have not been able to find their marriage or the baptism of William. William is a common name through my family. William (Guil latin for William) could be the S/O Evan and Anna Cook b abt 1707 that would make him 43 at the birth of Mary.

I am still keeping an open mind on both a relocation from South Wales or a link to Evan Jenkins of Breem.

Members thoughts would be appreciated.

Regards

Tony
