Sorry Chris should have been William. The 1901 census entry is correct with Elizabeth Adams a widow living at West Dean with lodger William Dobbs. Willie Archer the grandson is the key, born in Tredegar. Elizabeth's daughter in law Sophie Hall moved to Wales and married a Thomas Hancock on the death of her husband Hiram. Hiram of course had been named after Elizabeth Archer's brother Hiram who was transported to Bermuda c 1853 and who died of yellow fever as told by Averil Kear in her book 'Bermuda Dick'. Thank you very much for the marvellous help I get on this site, we are very fortunate to have these genealogy pages. Especially good for descendants living out of the area.
