Thanks for that - problem solved :-)

Thomas Taylor was baptised in Newent so I was concentrating on Drybrook.

Father-in-law Arthur Taylor (gt gt Grandson of Thomas) lives in Parkend so he is now off doing some field reseach !!

A beer on the slate for you at the Rising Sun, Bream.

Cheers
Bernie

A little strange that this is so unrecognisable to others, esp as its only 3 or 4 miles from the Heritage Centre.

This Drybrook is the "Little Drybrook" near Ellwood Lodge; just north west of Bream, towards Marsh Lane and Clements End. Take the road from Bream Tump out towards Sling, around the Mill Hill bends, half way to Sling - then head north into the Forest and you'll find the small settlement..

The Walks and Inclosures were divisions of the Forest.

This "address" shows on the 1841 census for Thomas Taylor and family.
(HO 107 /364/12)

Local and Glous council as well as the Heritage Center have no idea where this is/was.

Any of you Gurus got any ideas?

TIA
