Hi Barbera,

I posted a message on Tuesday but it seems to have got lost in transmission. Anyway my grandfather William John Gardner was the WJG living in New Street at the time of the 1881 census. It seems likely that we do share a relative so I thought I might give you a little more information about WJG in case it may be of use in your search. William John Gardner married Emily Bower on the 25th. December 1869. He was 21 and she was 18. His father was also a William and they were both plasterers who worked at Gloucester Cathedral. Her father was a Samuel Bower. They had at least eight children one of which was Ellen. Following Emily's death WJG married my grandmother in 1901 and was a widow with four children. She was 33 and he was 51. WJG and my grandmother had two children one of which was my father. If you find out that there is a connection I can of course supply more info.

Kindest regards,

Doug G.
