Hi Kelly, thanks for your kind words, only too pleased to try and help, as will others on the forum I'm sure. If you need any more guidance or answers, please ask.

Yes it's a very interesting if not addictive hobby !. Very glad to hear you have enjoyed the Forest in the past, a perfect playfround for us when we were kids, I'm still sad my son didnt growup in the Forest like me...

Meanwhile I realise I haven't posted the 1911 Census for your James family.

I have no idea how or why, as I'm not a paid subscriber to Ancestry, but as well as showing FULL households of the 1881 Census(also free on Family Search/LDS), Ancestry also allows me free access to the 1911 Census for Wales. Fortunately this includes many West Dean families such as yours, as came under the Monmouth office, despite geographically being within Glos, so:

1911 Wales Census for a Four Room household at "Parkend Church Walk, near Lydney Glos"

Name Relation to Head Birth Date Age Gender Marital Status Occupation Birth City Birth County Birth Country
James James Head 1882 29 Male Married 1yr Outside Pit Labourer Yorkley Nr Lydney Gloucestershire England
Meriam James Wife 1881 30 Female Married 1yr Yorkley Nr Lydney Gloucestershire England
Harold James Son 1910 4/12 Male Parkend Nr Lydney Gloucestershire England

Hopefully this link will take you to the actual census image, I'd be gratefull to know if it does, please ?. Otherwise if not and you don't have access yourself, I can email you a pdf file if you like.
