Hello,
I have a marriage certificate for Richard Faulkes marriage to Maria Baldwin at Holy Trinity church, Forest of Dean, 9th February, 1846. Richard's Father Joseph, a Farmer, Maria's Father a Woodsman. Their residence is given as Bailey, Pound.
Would anybody know where Bailey, Pound is or how near it is to the church Holy Trinity at Drybrook, Gloucestershire, as I hope to visit this area of Gloucester on my ancestor trail.
My initial findings is that Bailey could be a tiny hamlet and that Pound could be the name of a Farm?
Also would like to hear from fellow researchers in the family names of Faulkes or Baldwin.

Thank you
Regards Carol

out towards Wigpool and Weston Under Penyard, I'll get my maps out in the morning for a better location.
