FISHER family of Lydbrook (General)
Any contacts for the fisher family of lydbrook/worrall hill/moorwood from 1790 to 1940.
My own family left the forest about 1940s living in a cottage called moorwood, i think by a pub called royal spring.

Moorwood/Vention is part of Lydbrook
Royal Spring, Vention Lane GL17 9RL
Vention is a small hamlet to the north east of Lydbrook. The unclassified road from Vention runs down a wooded valley and joins the B4229 as it runs parallel to the River Wye. The Royal Spring is located at the top of this narrow valley in an attractive position. Despite its isolation the Royal Spring is still successfully trading.
