hi Janice
It's me again, I have been along Marsh Lane and Elton cottage is still there.
If you go into the forest of Dean Council website www.fdean.gov.uk. Go into the planning requests and check on planning application P1120/06/FUL when this comes up go into the site map and it will show you Elton Cottage.
hope this is of some help.

Hi Janice

Marsh Lane goes from Sling to Elwood
If you go into The Forest of Dean Family History map page
drag Sling to centre of screen and zoom in until Clements End Rd. appears, Marsh lane is the road starting at the Rd in the above road going through to Elwood.
It is a narrow winding lane with few passing places,as I use it occasionlly.
Next time I go that way I will try and remember to look for that house hoping the names not changed.

Janice,

If you go to Towns and Villages on this site: click on Forest of Dean West you will find Marsh Lane just south of Ellwood.

Sling or Ellwood nr Coleford would be my best guess to help explain where "Marsh Lane" area is.

If you try Multimap or Google Maps , then use the post code >>> GL16 7NA

Or if you want to see the Marsh Lane area in the late 1800's try

http://www.old-maps.co.uk/
co ords 358752,207857

where you can get a modern OS map tile , and an aerial view.

We do not have a photo of Elton Cottage in Marsh Lane in our Photo Gallery as far as I know.

Sharing with us where Marsh Lane is located would help!

Has anyone a photo of this cottage, it was Built by Elton Holder.
Sorry but I don't know where Marsh Lane is ( Not Far from ELWOOD?)
Elton came from West Dean. Hope this makes sense.
