Occupation; Stone Mason/Blacksmith (General)
Hi Diane,
The Littledean trade directory for 1894 includes James Haines, blacksmith.

Harriet's father John Palmer, tailor of Littledean Rd Newnham, is in these Newnham editions from 1842 and 1876.

These and several other FoD directories may be found here;

I see a Mrs Catherine Palmer is listed within the Nobility/Gentry section of the 1842 Newnham directory; I wonder if this could be a relation ?

This Shirenewton directory for 1895 includes Oliver Haines, jobbing mason of Mynyddbch;
another relative perhaps ?
