I am searching for information on the Rees family of Parkend in the Forest of Dean. John Rees m. Sarah Ann Belcher in 1835 in Awre with Blakeney. They had seven children: William, Thomas, Cordelia, Lucy, Fany, Elizabeth, George and Henry (my ancestor). I am interested in knowing what happened to Henry's siblings. I know that William m. Mary Ann and had seven children. Thomas m. Caroline and had one child named Emma. I have no information on Cordelia or Lucy Jane. Fany m. Thomas Lentern in Moxley in 1867 and had three children. I have no informaiton on Elizabeth or George.

If anyone has access to parish records for Parkend or census records for 1861 or 1871, I would be very grateful for the information.
