I notice he was a Royal Marine. I have noticed a lot of people in the Forest of Dean and South Wales had connections with the Royal Navy or other sea based professions. Ibn my family album I have a picture of a woman in a crinoline and it was taken at Devonport. I can only assume her husband may have had something to do with the Royal Navy or Royal Marines but she remains, for the time being at least, a mystery person! She will be related to my Forest of Dean relatives but I have yet to make the link!
