I'd start with the English Bicknor pages looking for Joyford hill etc

or find a family and start browser pages either side of them.....

another family probably at The Lonk

Elizabeth Jones abt 1836 Gloucestershire, England Dean Forest Gloucestershire
James Jones abt 1839 Gloucestershire, England Dean Forest Gloucestershire
John Jones abt 1832 Gloucestershire, England Dean Forest Gloucestershire
Mary Jones abt 1826 Gloucestershire, England Dean Forest Gloucestershire

and another family

1841 Joyford
Giles Adams abt 1794 Gloucestershire, England Dean Forest Gloucestershire Coal miner
Catharine Adams abt 1797 Gloucestershire, England Dean Forest Gloucestershire

or one of yours at

1841 Joyford
William Cooper abt 1786 Gloucestershire, England Dean Forest Gloucestershire
Alice Cooper abt 1785 Gloucestershire, England Dean Forest Gloucestershire
Charlotte Cooper abt 1829 Gloucestershire, England Dean Forest Gloucestershire
Emma Cooper abt 1827 Gloucestershire, England Dean Forest Gloucestershire
Hannah Cooper abt 1821 Gloucestershire, England Dean Forest Gloucestershire
William Cooper abt 1825 Gloucestershire, England Dean Forest Gloucestershire

I would like to browse through Joyford on Ancestry, but can't work out which enumeration district number I need.

When I go into the search for Gloucs I only get a choice of Newnham or Ross, and then I have to pick a district..
I've tried Monmouth too.. but I am getting confused!

hopeless at geography ;)

Thanks
