steady on Godfrey - I was still working on it !

There are a number of Browning families just over the Severn south of Gloucester - Frampton , Brookthorpe, Upton St Leaonards, Longney, Haresfield etc.

Ansell is perhaps the sort of christian name that you might expect to be passed down generations - any evidence ??? other forms Ancell, Ansel, Anselm has French or possibly German origins - so were the family Mariners ??
