Thanks for the reply. I'd tried Parloc which does not give Berry Hill as a parish so I thought it was just a hill like May Hill.

Regards

Foresters,

I have found a possible family member in the 1871 Flaxley census the birthplace of whom is given as Berry Hill.

The person with the name given on Ancestry's 1871 could be the same person as given with different spelling in Westbury via the FOD database.

My question is, "Is Berry Hill in the Forest near Westbury?"

Thanks.

Chas
