Greetings,

I am looking for information on Harry Edwards, born November 25, 1884 in Lydbrook, and his wife Hannah, nee George, born abt 1884. Hannah is my great-grandfather's sister. Harry is the youngest child of Charles and Hannah Edwards, who were the innkeepers at the Bell Inn in Lydbrook for a period of time. I believe Charles and Hannah had 12 children in all.

In the Parish Records on this site I have found Harry's baptism record (East Dean Methodist), and the burial records for Charles (1909) and Hannah (1908) (Lydbrook Parish Chapel). I believe this Edwards family came to the Forest of Dean around 1870; I've found census records for the family showing them in the Forest in 1871, 1881, 1891, and 1901.

My questions, specifically, are these:

Is anyone out there researching this Edwards group? I've looked at the Edwards' postings on the forum, and I don't think they are the same line. I am specifically interested in learning whether Harry and Hannah stayed in the Forest after their marriage in April 1903, or if they immigrated to the United States or elsewhere.

Also, I subscribe to ancestry.com, and can only find England and Wales Census Records through 1901. Are there later versions of the England and Wales Census available on-line?

Thank you in advance for any assistance you can provide. This is a wonderful site, and I've been thrilled to find much helpful information on my Forest of Dean ancestors here!
