Thanks Trudy. However I'm not convinced about this Susannah. There was a baptism in Mitcheldean in 1790 for a Susannah, daughter of Cornelius and Elisabeth Meek.

The Susanna I have, is mentioned in censuses as being born in Berkeley, which is the other side of the River Severn and about 30 miles from Micheldean, and also her wedding took place on 8 June 1813 at St Philips and St Jacobs parish church in the centre of Bristol.

Her only connection, as far as I can see, with the Forest of Dean is through her marriage to John Oakey of Aston Ingham.

They did, in the censuses live in the parish of Northwood Green, Nr Westbury on Severn.

According to the Mormon records her father was Cornelius, born in Gloucester and grandfather Brazillia Meek
