Forest of Dean FHT Forum - James JONES 1796 Hillersland farmer https://forum.forest-of-dean.net/ Connecting Forest of Dean Researchers World-Wide en James JONES 1796 Hillersland farmer (reply) Hi
My thanks to gwrmad and Slowhands for your replies. Your observations about small boys working away from home reminded me that there is a record of a Henry JONES in the 1851 census who was a servant to a William KEAR(grocer) at St Briavels(2443 0633 015) but Henry was born in St.Briavels whereas the Henry I`m looking for was born in Lydbrook.
best wishes

Henry's parish records will be the key !
