Hi.
I don't know if this info is any interest to you. My Grandmother's name was Florence Adams, she was born in The Forest of Dean around 1890 (I think). I believe her father became some influential figure in that area, maybe the Mayor. She married Albert, the eldest son of a wealthy family, (the Elliott's of Nantwich),who promptly disinherited Albert for marrying 'beneath him.' Florence and Albert moved to Bridgend in South Wales,with their son, my father, Herbert Edwin. Sadly, the marriage was a disaster, Albert became an alcoholic and ended up committing suicide when my father was 11.
I do sometimes wonder what happened to my Forest of Dean relatives
