Hi many thanks for your input, I had not done a search for witnesses, I have been looking at Timothy Hunt & Mary Hulin and can't see any connection so likely just a friend, I had already noted he was witness for Thomas Hulin will Richard Hughes & George Worgan all from St Briavels and executor for a Joseph Hulin.

At least I know he was in St Briavels circa 1822 it will have to wait until I get an opportunity to get to Gloucester.

The name John is not particularly common in FOD Teagues, I will have to go over Ralph Anstis working notes see if he mentions him.

Best wishes...Gill
