Thanks again for your interest and useful replies. I'm new to the Ancestry game; could you tell me how one gets access to the England Census database. Can it be queried on line? Is it free?
Regards

Thank you very much for your prompt responses. It has given me a good start to probe further. My wife and I have got out our 1997 copy of the Collins Road Atlas of Britain to locate the towns you mention. Thank you again. Jo

Yorkley is not a Parish so searching records of nearby parishes of Bream, Parkend, Blakeney and Lydney may be of help.

Non-conformist Chapels in Yorkley
There are no churches remaining as places of worship in Yorkley. There was a Baptist chapel located in Beech Road, lower Yorkley, there was a Bible Christians chapel at Yorkley Slade and a mission church at Yorkley Wood. Oldcroft also boasted a Primitive Methodists Chapel. Of the five chapels in the Yorkley, Pillowell and Oldcroft area only one remains a place of worship.

Yorkley Parish records - Evans/Prout

jo.evans — Sun, 03 Aug 2008 18:12:39 +0000

I am trying to trace more details about my grandfather's family. I live in New Zealand and am unable to search the records in person and it seems the records for Yorkley have not yet been transcribed.

He was Hubert Evans, b. 23 Sep 1875 of parents Henry Jones Evans and Emma Prout who were living in Yorkley. I have a copy of his birth certificate registered at Coleford. I think it likely that the family attended the Baptist church in Yorkley but I am not certain.

I would like to find out where Henry and Emma were born and married and if possible the same details about their parents.

Is anyone in the process of transcribing these records?
