Thank you for your reply

I have found those records but they dont tell me if i have the correct John Manns!

I am assuming he is the correct John Manns because he had a son called William born 1826 who was Gt Gt Grandfather to my husband.

The Census records are confusing with different possible birth dates and places of birth for John & Mary.

I have the death date for himas 1867 and for a Mary Manns in 1869 but not sure if that is correct!

Manns in Gloucestershire is an extremely difficult name to research grrrrrrrrr
