The answer has to be Industrial !
either Tin or Iron ( or both) ; I suspect Copper and Tin plate

The power of the Wye was being used in the Forges at New Weir and Red Brook etc, and it appears the Haddocks were Forgemen. perhaps skilled and in demand....

back in Aberafon / Neath Tin plate and iron was a major industry too.

Mr Costaria John Coster, a Cornish mineworker who hailed from the Forest of Dean. He became manager and later owner of Copper Works at Upper Redbrook. He died in 1718 and was succeeded by his son , Thomas, who took up a lease of copper works in Neath, and was working there in 1733.

In 1680 a second smelter was erected at Upper Redbrook in the Forest of Dean by John Coster. His partner was William Dockwra, who probably obtained his copper from these works for use in his brass foundry at Esher in Surrey. In 1691 a further smelter in the Forest was erected at Lower Redbrook, the premises of the English Copper Company. Amongst the technical staff was Gabriel Wayne.

Following the deaths of John Coster, jnr in 1734, his brothers Robert in 1735
and Thomas in 1739, control of their business was transferred to Thomas' daughter, Jane, who after a number of years sold her interest to a partner, Joseph Percival. He changed the name of the company to Joseph Percival & Copper Company, transferring the smelting branch of the business to South Wales. Frances Coster succeeded to the management of the Upper Redbrook works on the death of his father, John. Frances remained in control at Upper Redbrook, until the business was transferred to Neath.The Lower Redbrook works continued in operation until 1790, in which year the English Copper Company, having previously moved their smelting facilities to South Wales, sold it to David and William Tanner of Monmouth.

I am a descendent of a Marshall Haddock born 1746 in Aberafon Glamorgan. He married a Sarah Richards at Chapel Hill, Monmouthshire. I have a few questions that I need the answers of to verify my research.
Question 1
Does anyone know if Nelson Haddock born 1822 and Horatio Nelson Haddock are the same person?
Question 2
Does anyone know if the father of Nelson Haddock is Rawlins Haddock born in Aberafon Glamorgan 1795, Wales. Rawlins Haddock is the son of Marshall and Sarah Haddock
Question 3
If this is the case why do the Haddocks from Glamorgan keep coming back and forth to the Forest of Dean area.

Can anyone help me with information and verification on the above questions.

For an old map and new map

http://www.old-maps.co.uk/
co-ordinates 356259,215839

( on a 25000 OS map use 56259,15839 )

That would be about 1 1/2 miles south of the centre of Whitchurch Herefordshire village.

Goodrich , Whitchurch and Englich Bicknor are often used to "cover" this area.

It was the site of an old iron (?) Forge
