The Tufts - Bream Heritage Walks

8 - The Tufts

The building 30 or so metres to the right is now a private house, but once a beerhouse or public houses and was called the Miner's Rest. etc etc.

..... later on in this article

An accident in 1864 was widely reported in the press. Stopping in for a drink three young men and their girlfriends were involved in a tragic shooting in the Miners Rest when one of the young men grabbed a gun from the wall and pointed it at another. The third pulled the trigger. Unfortunately the gun was loaded and the third young man, Charles Preest was killed.

etc.etc.

His burial is on FOD records

13 October 1864. Charles PREEST aged 16 - residence Bream

I've just found this site after a days visit to lydney and Aylburton without much luck on my searches and I wonder if anyone can help?

I have traced my Mother's line back to a Richard Phillips born in Lydney in 1817. He is listed as having married a woman named Ann (b. 1808?) but I cannot find her surname. It has been suggested that she may have come from Berkeley originally but I cannot corroborate this.

After having searched the Gloucestershire records office, I have found a surname of Tyler for a woman married to a Mr Phillips that had 3 children (William 1841, Charles 1843, & Jane 1845). This seems to work with the detail I have for the children but I can't seem to get anymore info.

The helpful census records on this site have a Richard Phillips living in Aylburton in 1841 and then Huntley in 1861. These seem to tie in with his age if born in 1817.

The final piece of info I found here this evening is that a Richard Phillips was killed at Parkend on the 21/09/1869 and a Charles Phillips also died there on 10/11/1883.

If anyone can help me get any further info I'd really appreciate it.

Cheers

Jason
