Will of Elizabeth Cowmeadow - Reading old handwriting (General)

Hello,

Just stepping into this thread because I'm trying to learn more about Cinderford Iron Works ... and searching for old discussions first before starting a new one.

I was interested to see the name COWMEADOW here, because my ancestor John Frederick EDWARDS married an Elizabeth COWMEADOW in 1847 in Bristol. The marriage register names her father as James Cowmeadow (coal merchant). I'm wondering, therefore, if 'my' Elizabeth was one of the children of James and Elizabeth, the main subject of this discussion.

Several members of my Edwards family, including my 3x great-grandfather Thomas Edwards (1809-1877) worked (and may well have lived at) Cinderford Iron Works, hence my current research.
