Cooper / East Dean / Broadmoor (General)

by admin , Forest of Dean, Wednesday, May 17, 2006, 02:06 (6758 days ago)

Hello All
First post just like to say what a great web site this is, i have tried searching the forum and records but have not managed to find anything so here goes

my g/g grandfather Richard Cooper dob 27 aug 1853 BroadMoor East Dean

g/g/g grandfather was also Richard Cooper and was married to Ann Cooper maiden name Nelmes

Firstly just trying to find out where Broadmoor is/was

My g/g grandfather seems to have ended up in Snatchwood Trevethin(1881) Nr Pont y Pool with his brother Edwin as miners before his son (g/grandfather) Edgar Richard moved to Flintshire where he worked in the steelworks

I am hopingto visit the Forest of Dean in the summer to have a look around so any help advice gratefully received

Thanks

Stu
