Hello, (New member Donald Jellyman from Gloucester) very interested in your researches.

I am at present researching my mother's family Lander (Painswick) and its connection with the Gyde family also Painswick. My mother was the Amy Lander you mention in the Gloucester Census. Alfred Edwin Lander was my Grandfather - son of Edwin Lander and Mary Ann Young from Newnham. Ida Lander and Arthur Lander were my Aunt and Uncle and Ellen Williams (ne Lander) also my Aunt. Dinah Green from Huntley was my Grandmother and linked with the Beards.

Alfred Edwin had brothers William Edwin Gyde Lander, George Edwin Lander, and James Lander. The oldest daughter was Mary Ann Lander 9using her mother's christian names. The youngest daughter Jane died about a year after her birth . The mother Mary Ann died shortly after and Edwin remarried in 1871 Amy from London.

My Grandmother, Dinah Green died in 1928 in Gloucester a month before I was born but was alive to see my elder sister Kathleen who was born two years before me. Both she and my younger brother Richard are now in the United States.

My mother Amy died in 1966 in Gloucester. I have family connections in both the Cotswolds and the Forest of Dean. Bill (William Williams) was one of my cousins and was brought up lasrgely by Ellen. Ida Lander's youngest daughter Dorothy is still living in Gloucester in her 90's and knows quite a lot about her mother's elder sister Ellen Lander. Alfred Edwin Lander died in Gloucester in 1922. He and Dinah Green were happily married.
