Hi,
Yes thats correct – I think we separate at John & Joseph
The only info I have before that is Parents John & Charlotte and then apparently his parents John & Hannah – but I cant find much more on this. Do you have anything? Else or more than this? I would like to try and go back as far as possible.
We went to St John’s at Cinderford in the hope to find some graves – but didn’t find anything – though there was a note on the church door saying they were doing a clean up project and a record of all the graves – so I will contact them in a few months to see how they are getting on.
we also went to Drybrook (I think) but nothing there either but there was so many and alot of the older ones had broken and were stacked up.
In Cinderford we saw St Annal’s road where Saeletha lived at St Annals farm – but he is more of my side.
I have my info all printed off and then a typical family tree actually written out on A3 – which I am going to transfer to an excel spreadsheet as soon as I can – so if you are interested I can email you this so you see how the Merry name expanded from other brothers etc... !
Best regards
Joanne.
