Thank you very much for your replies to my question.

I came across a newspaper article which my Mother had and it reads:-

Happy Birthday Ann!
Mrs Ann Weyman of Ruspidge this week celebrated her 103rd birthday. Born in Cheltenham, she moved to the Forest of Dean when she married Forest miner Edward Carpenter, her first husband. Despite a fall three years ago, when she broke both wrist and a hip, Mrs Weyman is a regular visitor to Dilke Hospital and the Highview Centre. Unfortunately though, she is no longer able to accompany her family to matches at Cinderford Rugby Club, of which she is a great supporter.

My mother has written at the bottom of this article "Annie Carpenter - Aunt of A.E Drew March 9th 1990/Dec 1992
(I dont know what the dates refer too and unfortunately I can not ask my Mother)

A.E Drew is my Grandfather
The Mother of A.E Drew is Mary Jane Carpenter 1877
So Annie would have married Edwin/Edward John Carpenter 1879

1881 Census
Caroline CARPENTER Other M Female 28 Forest of Dean Domestic Servant
Mary Jane CARPENTER Other Female 4 Forest of Dean
Edwin John CARPENTER Other Male 2 Westbury on Severn
Rose Matilda CARPENTER Other Female 3 m Westbry on Severn

I would really like to find out more about Annie (maiden name) and hopefully I will one day.
Maybe I will try an ad in Dean Forest Mercury as my Mother did many years ago for family members.

Thank you once more
Gwenn
