Thomas and Martha Harris of Westbury on Severn (General)
Hello Yvonne,
Nice to hear from you.
I am not in the Forest of Dean area but based on my research my best estimate as to the location of Horsepool Bottom is here

I agree my records show Thomas and Martha moving from Gloucestershire to Middlesbrough, back to Gloucestershire, then back to Middlesbrough! I have not been able to figure out a logical reason as to why. I do know Thomas was a coal miner which may explain.
One of the members on this forum pointed me in direction of martha malsons origins. Thomas remains a bit of a mystery though still researching on a part time basis. Please get in touch if interested in sharing information.
