Matthew, thanks to Slowhands I've been linked to this forum question. It seems clear we are related through Great grandparents Edward John Miller and Ellen PJ Ellis. His son, George Miller, born 1877 is my grandfather. Is there some way we can compare trees? I wondering to which branch of the family you belong.

Just a coincidence is the way it seems at the moment :-)

Your collective input is much appreciated, I have yet to analyse in detail, but fits what I know. Edward MILLER married Ellen Patience Jakeman ELLIS 1873 and had 12 offspring which match your census records.

Only query I have is Dorothea MILLER same surname as husband Edward MILLER? Just a coincidence?

Slowhands, Hannah is probably Hannah Godwin, daughter of Richard Godwin and Mary Jones, baptised 26 Dec 1783 St Briavels. In Richard Godwin's will he bequeaths a sum of money to his daughter Hannah Miller Wife of John Miller.

Is it possible that his birth was not registered in Gloucestershire but in London when he moved at a young age, or is it just confusion that his mother is a Forester ?

Edward John MILLER St. Briavels, Gloucestershire born a1846

lewis.mc — Wed, 22 Oct 2008 07:01:38 +0000

I am searching for any possible information relating to Edward John MILLER my great grandfather, reputed to have been born in St. Briavels, Gloucestershire about 1846. Family work undertaken on a predominantly London based family tree (which seems to be generally reliable) says he moved from St.Briavels at an early age to Kentish Town, then Islington, dying before September 1929 at Drayton Park, Middlesex.

I can find no trace of him in Parish records or census, so am beginning to wonder if this was speculation rather than their being any source. Would be very grateful for any suggestions of how to proceed to establish if there is a St.Briavels connection.

Many thanks

Matthew
