Lydney Ellis family and connections (General)
Hello Listers of the Forest
Having discovered that my G grandfather was born in Dudley in 1850 it has taken a long time to track his family down to the Forest of Dean. With the kind help of people like slowhands I have pieced together a possible pedigree.
If anyone can add to this, has any connections or disagrees with any of the information below please get in touch.

Thank you for your assistance Joanne, is this from the IGI or Parish records?
» This may be a sibling too:
» John Ellis c. 15 Aug 1813 Coleford, Newland.
Indeed he is as he is in their household in the 1841 census
» Mary Jenkins c. 25 Sep 1791 St. Briavels P= William Jenkins and Mary.
I had discovered Mary Jenkins c15 Jan 1786 in Newland d of Thomas and Sarah - is there evidence that yours is the right one? Its all a bit hit and miss without ages.

Hi Brian, the information I have given you was from the IGI. It is difficult when looking for people when they have been born in Newland. Newland is a village in it's own right, but I have discovered that it also covered a wide number of villages acting like a district I suppose. Confusing!

I found a Mary Ellis, MIL, with a John Dobbs and his family on the 1851 census for Coleford, Newland. It gave her age as 61 so I figured that the christening for 1791 could match with that person and that this info could be right with your family.

Again I had found a death of John Parker in Lydney 1832, therefore born 1780 I have nothing to say that he is the right one though. Is there a churchyard survey of Lydney anywhere would you know?
Thanks for your help

I am not aware of a churchyard survey, but if there are some people that you believe to buried there, I can go take a look for you. I live in Lydney, and am only about 10 mins walk from the churchyard. I'd be happy to help if I can.
Joanne.
