Hello Jim,

My great-great uncle was Henry Williams (1824-1909), woodward, buried at Hewelsfield. In his will (dated 1909) he bequeaths to Mrs Maria Gunter, late of the Square Farm, Micheltroy, but now of Tregare, widow, the sum of ten pounds.
Do you have any information on Maria Gunter?

Have just read through this thread and, in case you haven't had it yet confirmed, yes Clap-y-ates (sometimes spelt Clappyatts etc) is in Stroat. I think today it's one house.

Also note that in the registers William Litten is recorded as labourer for baptisms of their children - sounds better than pauper!

An Esther Edwardes is in the Woolaston burial register August 3 1876 aged 41. Was she definitely born or just baptised in 1839?

I guess William Edwards who was buried March 5 1911 aged 84 from Woolaston Grange was her husband?

Hope this helps.

Biddy

I have compiled the following which are the 'holes' left in my attempts to find Forester ancestors. If anyone can help then I shall be very grateful. My sincerest thanks to those who have already sent me info. I have given Location - Names and dates and family members where possible.

MATHERN Mons. William GUNTER = ELIZABETH abt 1827
James. December 9 - 1828. Joseph September 19 - 1830 Died March 17 - 1861.
George. October 5 - 1835
Charles June 25 - 1837
John April 11 - 1840

LITTLE DEAN Glos. James WILLIAMS = HARRIETT abt 1825
Esther bn. March 29 - 1839

COMMENTS:- She married Joseph GUNTER in 1857

Lizzie bn. in 1858

COMMENTS:- Joseph died March 1861 & was buried at Tidenham. Esther listed as a Pensioners Widow on her subsequent marriage to my GGG G/Father William Litten EDWARDS as follows.

WOOLASTON. William Litten EDWARDS = Esther Gunter Sept. 16 1861.
Walter Jan 6 - 1862 all born at Woolaston
George Jan 17 - 1864
William Apr 4 - 1866
Alice May 5 - 1868
James Aug 8 - 1870
Lucy Dec 17 - 1871

COMMENTS:- The 1871 Census shows the family living at CHOP HOUSE Woolaston where William is listed as a pauper. Does anyone know where this was?

The 1881 census shows them living at a place called 'CLAP Y YATTS' Tidenham. Which I believe is a row of three houses near Stroat. Am I right?

Esther must have died by then as William is shown as a Widower. Can anyone add to these details?
