I am tracing the Preest family, all areas of Forest of Dean.

Also the Aston family that married into the Preest family in Bream.
Mary Ann Aston was born to an Edward Aston, birth registered Trelleck Monmouthin 1855. When Mary Ann married in 1876 she was living in St Briavels.

Edward was born about 1825 I think in St Briavels, he was a carpenter.

Any information on either family would be great.
