Cinderford 2 - RICKARDS (General)
The man in this picture is my grandfather's nephew. Mary said she hadn't found the name of the child. He is Ernest George, two years older than his sister. It appears from the death records that the family moved to Southampton, as both the children ended their days there within about 20 years of each other Stella died in 1998. I'd like to find their living relatives.

Hi Rockheart. Stella May never married and as yet I haven't looked for a marriage for Ernest. Their Father George was my Great Grandmother's(Annie Rickards)sister. George Barnard Rickards was my Great Grand Uncle.

Ernest George Rickards was my father. Have all the history of that side of the Rickards family if you need it.

My Nan’s father was William Rickards.
Does anyone have any information about the family I can give to her.
She was only 4 when he passed away and knows very little about him and has no photos of him.
Many thanks
Carly

Hi Carly, welcome to the forum & website.
I see from this site's Parish Records there were quite a few "William Rickards" over the years, please can you try and clarify which one you mean, eg approximate dates and location ?
Perhaps you've already found him by searching the PRs, see
https://forest-of-dean.net/joomla/index.php/parish-records-search
Have you read these old forum threads which may refer to the same William you're looking for ?
https://forum.forest-of-dean.net/index.php?id=30772
https://forum.forest-of-dean.net/index.php?id=31496
We look forward to your reply, and to hopefully helping you. The more you can tell us about your Nan's background then the easier and quicker it is for us to maybe tell you something new, and without anyone wasting time revisiting old ground.
Thanks.
William RICKARDS
