Can anyone give me any information on relatives of the following who were members of my family and were all born in Bream.I have some information but cannot track down if there are other family members left with the surname Preest.

Thank you for your trouble.As you say your information is for earlier dates.
My real interest starts with the marriage of Thomas Preest and Francis Teague in 1891 and what happened to the family after that date.
But thank you.

Thank you for all the trouble you go to.
As you see from my reply to Terry my interest is in the later years when a Teague married into the family.
I will keep trying.

I've found this entry on the 1901 Wales Census under West Dean

Robert Croate abt 1851 Bream Gloucestershire Boarder West Dean
Thomas Priest abt 1871 Bream Gloucestershire Boarder West Dean
Nellie Teague abt 1882 Bream Gloucestershire Daughter West Dean
Sarah Teague abt 1845 Bream Gloucestershire Head West Dean
Thomas Teague abt 1884 Bream Gloucestershire Son West Dean

They are all living at 'Breams Tuffs' according to the Census

Thomas Priest is listed as Widowed

Given that he married a Teague, Frances middle name was 'Sarah, the head of this family is Sarah, and this Thomas is living with the Teague family in the area you mentioned, this may be the one you are looking for.

There is another Preest/Preece family from Breem. Amos Preest b. 1810. Had 4 children with first wife Susan Franklin and 7 (maybe more) with second wife Anne James.
