Postcards from Coleford sent to members of my family in 1907 were signed by A. Ellis of Bank Street. They were beautifully written (both handwriting-wise and linguistically) and mention someone called Wilfred/Wilfrid. Does anyone know how A. Ellis and Wilfred might connect with the Rooks, Prossers, Pritchards, Steads, Morgans...? My family members (surname Rook) were in touch with them, probably on an ongoing basis, as the cards thank them for postcards which they had sent to A. Ellis and Wilfred/Wilfrid. I know that members of my family visited The Forest of Dean for decades after they had moved away (they moved away in the 1870s and members of the family visited through to about the 1920s or 1930s) and that at least one member of my family regularly went on holiday with some relatives from Coleford and S. Wales e.g. to North Devon and to coastal resorts in Wales e.g. Mumbles.
Thanks.
