Hi Alf

I have begun trying to work out my family ancestry from the Forest of Dean area. My mother was Betty Beard and her father Joseph Beard came from Coldharbour (Oxenhall) near Newent. I have traced back my grandfather's ancestry via another Joseph and two John Beards.

Anyway, I've seen your name appear on information associated with the Oxenhall and Newent areas and churches elsewhere on the internet, so thought I'd make contact.
