Delia Coombs abt 1855 Clements End, Gloucestershire, England Wife [No occupation] West Dean Monmouthshire

1891
Delcia Coombs abt 1853 Clement End, Gloucestershire, England Wife [No occupation] West Dean Gloucestershire

Public worker suggests someone working for the Parish or Workhouse.

The Salvation Army evolved in the period 1865 - 1880 from Booths methodist Missions in East London

It would appear that the name of Wiliam's wife is incrrectly recorded. This entry from GFHS Marriage Index:
31 December 1835 William KEAR of Hundred of St Briavels married Eliza PRIEST of Hundred of St Briavels by Banns at Hewesfield.

This is the family in 1851 Census (GHFS transcription):

All that part of the Township of West Dean comprised in the Sun Tump, Breams Meend, New China Level, Ellwall, Cleave End Green, Sling Pit, Clearwell Meend, Dark Hill, Ellwood, Bromley Lodge, Drybrook and Ellwood Inclosure

Recently slowhands helped with thekear family i was tracing to cut a long story short this threw up cardelia Kear lodging with george & dorcas on obtaining a birth cert for her it turns out that she is dorcas sister. the question is where are her parents? William & Elvira Kear nee Priest ,he is down as a stone cutter. Also where is Cleavers end on her birth cert as place of birth?
