Thank you for the information you have given which ties in with my own sources. Henry Tom met his wife Mary Ann (Deen) when they were both servants at Woodfields, Llangarren. They moved to Monkland, Leominster after marriage, but did return to Weston at the start of World War I. After the war Henry Tom was employed as a gardener at various houses in Herefordshire and he died in Hereford in 1962. My father was Henry George (Harry) who eventually returned to the Forest of Dean when he became Chief Collector at the former Lydney District Council in 1965. He lived at Greenways, Lydney. I remember being taken to Weston by my Aunt Phyllis in the 1960s to visit her relatives at Tump Cottages and I would be interested to know if any of the Wilks family still live in the area who have any further information.
