Hi Jeff, I just received the will from Gloucestershire Archives today in the post and am in the midst of transcribing it.

Arthur Pitchard's son, also named Arthur (the name became Pitcher), lived in Clearwell, Scatterford, Stow and Wiggett?

Then Arthur junior's son, James Pitcher, went to Aylburton, Lydney.

His son, Benjamin senior, married Margaret Worgan from Woolaston/Alvington, and they went to live on the other side of the Severn in Rockhampton.

Their son, Benjamin junior, moved to Uley.

The line carries on to Arlingham through Daniel Bailey Pitcher who married Mary Fryer.

Their daughter, Mary Ann Pitcher married Charles Newbold Hibbitt who were my great-great-grandparents. Hibbitt was my maiden name. They went to Birmingham.

Their son, Alfred, moved around quite a bit as he was a Coastguard which was part of the navy back then. After being in Ireland, he and his family lived in a few places in and around Plymouth which is where my grandfather spent much of his childhood. My part of the family have lived here in Devon since Alfred's generation.

So yes, there is a navy connection but there are quite a number of generations before we finally arrive in Plymouth, lol.
