I'm new to the Forum, not sure how much you have found out about John?. I have a William Haynes born 1811 in St Briavels, in my family tree abit of a coincidence for them not to be related?

Garry

Thanks once again for even more information. With reference to the haynes tree on Geni that you sent me the link for, I may be being stupid but I can't see how that fits in to my family tree as I dont recognise any of the names and dates.

Regards

Dan

For a FH beginner I suggest this thread should help you, it includes some really useful websites which are free to access, they're often used on this forum especially FreeBMD and GlosBMD

see www.forum.forest-of-dean.net/index.php?mode=entry&id=35296

One of the sites mentioned in this post is the Gloster Archives "genealogical database", which is really useful and very user-friendly to operate. This site was mentioned very early in this thread by MPG wrt John Haynes c1816, as an overseer(of the poor)

If you search John Haynes the site will give 100+ hits from across the County, careful browsing shows a couple of these look like your family, apologies if this has already been mentioned in this thread, I've not seen it;

Year 1842
Surname HAYNES Forename John
Age 33 Date of Committal 15 Dec 1842
Public Address St Briavels
Occupation Shoemaker Reference Q/Gc5/7

I've never used the service, but paying a small charge online can purchase what I presume is the full record. However I've seen a few cases on here where the same record, especially Criminal ones, can be obtained from Ancestry.
http://www.gloucestershire.gov.uk/archives/article/107400/Genealogical-database

Finally, regarding "Ancestry", a simplified version of this major US-based subscription website may be accessed f-o-charge in most public libraries, you cannot plot family tree etc (but you can do this at home just by registering, also f-o-c), but you can still search and download most of the site's records, census' records, military service, etc, etc. My local library also offers free access to "Find My Past", yours may too, which have different resources to investigate.

Hope this helps, atb J.

PS just searched the Welsh Newspapers site, as mentioned on the previous post. I tend to search it with a surname pus placename, they liked to use the phrase "Dean Forest" as well as say "Monmouth" or "Lydney".

From the "Monmouthshire Merlin" of 25th April 1863

==============================

UPDATE !

While simply googling "Haynes Littledean" I found this website which has your family tree including Charles b1838 Littledean (maybe the shoemaker in Cinderford in above Directories ?)), grandson to John in St Briavels, who is thought to have been born Frampton on Severn c1766 (I noticed several Haynes-Frampton records on the Glos Archives Gen.website mentioned earlier).

I urge caution not to assume it's entirely accurate as often we see public trees contain assumptions which are then copied elsewhere to become "facts". Best to always check for yourself, in fact probably best to ignore this tree until you have your own to compare it with.
http://www.geni.com/people/Charles-Haynes/6000000003890707586

Sounds like we have a lot in common, I grewup in Cinderford but had to leave in the mid 80s for work, my family still there and Coalway too. Spent a lot of pocketmoney before that at Haines bike shop in Cinderford, a distant relation of your perhaps ?. These last few days I've seen a few more Haines blacksmiths etc in the Trade Directories in your old Coleford area, do you know if they were your relatives, probably not I thought ?. It was only after moving away that I started learning England's industrial heritage, but only abt 6 years ago, when I first found this great site, that I realised just HOW important the Forest was at the start of it all, shame it wasn't mentioned in school at Five Acres. I now know far more abt the Forest than I did when I lived there, terrible really but better late than never !

I THINK I see from this site's records your father maybe registered as a freeminer about the same as mine retired, mine was the son of generations of Lydbrook miners. This was just months after I'd started my engineering Apprenticeship at Ranks. I hope you've seen what looks like your father's freeminer record on this site, again the Resources section, altho I'm sure you knew the details anyway !
http://www.minersadvice.co.uk/monument_pit.htm

Finally, if you want to search the local newspapers for your family, the old DF Mercurys are accessible at Cinderford library, the Citizen is online at the British Newspaper Archives as are other local papers (this is the subscription site Mike has searched for you) and also the free Welsh Newspapers site sometimes helps; these prior threads will guide you.

http://forum.forest-of-dean.net/index.php?id=34751

Again, good luck with your searches, but be warned it can become very addictive !

Please keep coming back to visit and share, thanks again,
Jeff and the whole forum.

I really cannot believe how much you have given me to go on here I will be busy for months. I am originally from Bream where my parents still live. My father was one of the last free miners in the Forest and I have always been interested in the history of the forest and certainly the industrial side of it. I now live just up the road from Stonehenge but still regularly visit the forest. My uncle has also been working on the family tree and has been for much longer than myself so I regularly speak with him about new findings, he also posts to this site regularly.

You can be assured that any further information that I find will be posted below. And a donation will be certainly made, you have ensured that.

Many thanks once again for all your help I cannot thank you enough for this.

Daniel Haynes

OF COURSE, please ensure you've exhausted THIS FoD site's HUGE database of info first, particularly the RESOURCES menu, eg "WILLS". Think it's already been mentioned, it includes this Will, the original of which is at Gloster Archives I believe; also worth looking at other Haynes incase anymore Shoemakers exist, to give possible family links such as sons in neighbouring villages, say.

Surname HAYNES
First Name John
Abode Cold Harbour St Briavels
Occupation Shoemaker
Year Proved 1886
Page Number 163
Year of Death 1886
Month of Death Mar

Document Will
Notes
Will Number Will_02029

This was found by searching for "Testators". Searching "Beneficiaries" for Haynes gives Margaret as his wife, and William as his son, both 1886.

Another section worth searching is "INQUESTS".
I've found a few cases where Inquests in a given village and era have included the same particular family members on several juries - one likes to think it's because that ancestor was considered a well-respected "pillar" of the local community.

"PHOTOS" section, if you're lucky you may find a photo that includes your ancestors shoe shop. Most of the old photos included in this and other FoD related sites were ppstcards that were filmed and printed by local professional photographers for saile locally, so town centre scenes were very popular subjects.

Finally for now the "DOCUMENTS" section.
This huge database really can reward thorough and methodical reading, as again one can find ancestors and families, or even their homes etc, mentioned in subjects you might never have thought to research, all helping to buildup the family story.
Mentions of your ancestors within the Newspaper clippings and other Articles probably won't be found by just using the site's search engine, but it doesn't take too long to read thro them, and if nothing else its a great way to learn about the people and the geography of the Forest.

The site's search engine does, however, find this "Haynes" which may have been mentioned already, is he one of yours ?;

From Kelly's Directory of East Dean, 1879

"Cinderford
COMMERCIAL

Haynes Charles, boot & shoe maker"

This Directory lists SEVEN shoemakers in Cinderford alone !
In case you didn't know, Cinderford had bigger, busier mines nearby than the older Coleford near your Newland/Staunton area.

This entry is repeated within the "Slater's Directory of Newnham 1868, With the Parishes and Villages of Awre, Blakeney, Cinderford, Blaisdon, Flaxley, Little Dean, and the South End Hamlets of East Dean."
Found while simply googling "Haynes Lttledean".
http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~cbennett/newnham1868.htm

NB: Other Directories are available from the earlier 1800s on this freeview Leicester University website, see
http://forum.forest-of-dean.net/index.php?id=40683

Cinderford is my home town, on the Eastern edge of the Forest so opposite to Newland & Coleford. It's only a mile or so over the hill from Littledean, which is outside of the high/Forest "inner" Dean. Littledean is a truly ancient village compared to Cinderford (which is of mid 1800s mining origins), and in farming country not far from Westbury On Severn, which along with Monmouth was the centre of FoD local Government for centuries before the inner Forest was opened-up. So it's POSSIBLE that the Haynes shoemakers arrived at the Forest from, MAYBE, Gloster way, first settling in Littledean, then later moving west into Staunton etc as the inner Forest became settled by the influx of miners and ironworkers, all needing boots and shues.... But this is for you to prove, or disprove; I'm only guessing !

================================

Don't forget in your case to also search for "Haines" as well as "Haynes", as sometimes spelling errors were made, by journalists, local government officials, directory printers etc, plus as you go back in history to times when general literacy standards were lower, even family members might spell the name differently than you might expect.

Do hope this has helped, good luck with your searches !
Please, if you do find out anything more, please post it on this thread; particularly any usefull sources or links, as this forum is itself an excellent reference for future researchers.
You might also like to consider making a donation towards the physical upkeep of the forum, thanks.

PS Sorry I've mispelt "shues" and "saile" earlier, but this webpage doesn't permit certain words for sensible security reasons, especially retail-related ones.

I’ve tried researching this from a shoemaker angle, not easy as most websites seem to relate to Shoemaker as a surname, particularly Stateside, or Schumacher etc. Hopefully you've read thro the Cordwainer links in the earlier post, it shows how Guilds for leather workers hence shoemakers were established way back in medieval times, particularly in Spain(Cordoba). I've also searched this forum for shoemaker links, but without luck yet.

This excellent set of webpages offers a variety of possible research routes for various trades and professions across all walks of life.
http://www.whodoyouthinkyouaremagazine.com/tutorials/jobs/guild-members

However, sadly I struggle to find any mention of such essential old crafts as shoemaking !?. As a mechanical engineer who’s proud of this country’s industrial heritage, it seems this list seems to reflect modern UK thinking (or not…) about such “basic” yet essential crafts as metal and leather working. Maybe this is a reflection that the modern UK’s idea of celebrities tend to be actors or sportsmen, if this TV series had been German or Russian I’m sure many more scientists and craftworkers would be researched…

Anyway, the above links do highlight the logical research path to be our local and National Archives. Whilst searching my mother’s surname in the Gloster Archives website I was delighted to find they had her grandfather's Apprenticeship Certificate as a woodturner, a small part of a set of that Longhope company's records that were unusually spared the bonfire when it closed a few decades ago. As with the other regional archives, Gloucestershire Archives are intrinsically & physically linked to the main National Archives at Kew, London, their websites reflect this. However don’t forget our area, particularly Newland/Staunton, is very near Monmouth so Monmouthshire Archives are also worth searching, and even perhaps Herefordshire.

I’m writing this after performing a general UK internet search for “John Haynes Gloucestershire shoemaker”. I always recommend such a search of a person’s name, adrees, etc, in case anything relevant comes-up, it often does, often from old posts on this forum !. Recently this has given hits to the UK government Archives, sometimes more effectively than using the National Archives’ own rather “odd” search engine.
In this case I’ve found this, there may well be more. Clearly they may NOT be directly linked to your family, but at least your surnames not a very common one (I’m a Jones…), so just maybe… ??

"FindingRef D2957/101/3
Title Littledean: Enfeoffment (Phillipss MS. 28361)
Date 1649

Hopefully this direct link works for you,

Otherwise the homepage is http://ww3.gloucestershire.gov.uk/DServe/DServe.exe?dsqApp=Archive&dsqDb=Catalog&am...

Despite almost 20 years experience driving search engines, I still struggle with the main National Archives' one(ones?). Items I know are there I struggle to find again a week later, their search engine(s?) and perhaps database system has been changed or merged with others in recent years and perhaps that's why ?. The above link can be found as a cache (aka "old") page on the "old" National Archives website via Google, but not apparently from their own current website !?. Maybe this reflects they've farmed-out the Kew holdings/responsibility in favour of the prime holder at Gloucester ?.
http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:cc9x2PVESq4J:http://www.nationalar...

The main latest Archives search engine is here, http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/

Eitherway, sometimes the Archives website can take repeated searching, with subtle tweaks of surname spelling, or placenames (eg Gloucester, then Gloucestershire, etc) to yield good results, so please be patient and persevere.
When searching the Archives' websites, like so many search engines often "little is more", over-specific searches often yield "no hits", yet a general "Wright, Gloucestershire" for example may give several hits to plough thro, some of which may be yours, or even previously unknown kinfolk.

Another example is searching "Haynes Littledean" on the main archives "Discovery" website immediately gives just 13 hits, including;
"Notes on the Haynes and Heane families", and also
"Transcripts from wills of Haynes and Heane families, dating from the 16th century onwards." Both are "Flaxley & Littledean, compiled by Miss Ellis". This wesbite tells us the full files are held by Gloster Archives.
http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/results/r?_q=haynes+littledean

Yet searching Gloster Archives site for the same "Haynes Littledean" will NOT find them, as they're catalogued differently without the seemingly key word "Littledean"; so hunt "Haynes" and have 300 hits to sort thro, NOT all necessarily your ancestors of course.

Also oddly, I actually found the above links last night while using my laptop, which defaults to the "Google" search engine, but the battery died...
Today I'm at my preferred pc, whose "Bing" search engine DID NOT FIND these links !!???

Re John the shoemaker, don't forget in those days, especially in an area where most men needed good boots for working in the pits, and most provisions were bought locally, every town and even village had at least one shoemaker; probably doing a lot of repairs as well as making new, and all properly stitched etc leather then, no stick-on plastic soles !. No disrespect at all to John, he was clearly a skilled craftsman, but we're not necessarily talking footwear you might find worn by a wealthy gent in the city, perhaps made in Northampton say. Those shoemakers who felt they offered a better class of product sometimmes called themselves cordwainers, wheras John doesn't appear to. Hence I would say the links I've given, to the Trade Directories etc, are probably the nearest you'll find in terms of more written info about him. The other usual place to look would be the old Newspapers, as Mike is already doing.

For cordwainer see http://rmhh.co.uk/occup/c2.html

Jeff thanks very much for the links. I do not know Staunton all that well so I did find the history of it very interesting. I am wondering if John haynes was a shoe maker would he be relatively well documented and if so where would be a good place to take a look, suggestions would be much appreciated.

Much more general detail abt the area in the full entry, here

The definitive history of St Briavels can be read here, sadly no specific mention of your ancestors.
http://www.british-history.ac.uk/vch/glos/vol5/pp247-271

More maps from different eras and scales may be found under the heading "The Forest of Dean" at centre of the blue menu bar along top of this page, well-worth exploring them, not to mention all the other subject from this menu bar.

The definitive history of Staunton may be read here
http://www.british-history.ac.uk/vch/glos/vol5/pp272-284

A small part of this mentions shoemakers at your ancestor's time, probably gained from an earlier Trade Directory, or the 1851 Census.

"Three smiths, a carpenter, and a tiler recorded at Staunton in 1608 were probably based in the village, though Highmeadow hamlet also had a few tradesmen at the period: a blacksmith of Highmeadow was mentioned in 1560, two tailors later in the 16th century, and a carpenter in 1639. In 1851, apart from those employed in the woods, 12 non-agricultural tradesmen were recorded in Staunton parish, including a grocer, a tailor, a blacksmith, and 3 shoemakers. A boot repairer recorded in 1939 was one of the last representatives of traditional village trades."

However by 1876 the only shoemaker that was paying to be listed in the Morris Directory for Staunton was a James Powell, by which time of course John Haynes listed was in the "St Briavels" Directory as I posted elsewhere.

If "Stanton" were actually to be "Staunton" (not the one near Newent)on the 1804 HAYNES/MORGAN marriage this would tie in nicely geographically. (There is a Stanton but it's some distance away near the Worcester border.)

As MPG has shown so well in the past, tracing the witnesses at Marriages is a great way to grow a family, they're often older relatives, or to find best friends(neighbours ?) to help tie a family down in the Census.

However IF this is Charles' marriage (dont forget usually wed in the bride's parish, and for early marriages often didnt give ages etc etc), this is not overly helpful, even IF it's relevant (all quite common names locally)
Must try to tie all these in with the corresponding Census' which unfortunately, as you probably know, only started in 1841.

CLEARLY need to "tread" carefully here, MUST tie-in these PRs with the Census's and untangle the family, but not tonight I'm afraid..

Re the Census', even for early PRs such as this, quite often Census's would show parents or inlaws living-in with their grownup children, or maybe next-door, to help us go back beyond the 1841).

Re Hawdon's earlier post, would be usefull to find a future marriage for Jane Haynes b1806 (and so hopefully get parent/witness clues), but as yet no luck. Not forgetting the high infant mortaility rate in those days, so check the burials too.
