Many thanks for your information on Ann Griffiths. I already knew the siblings of Anne as I found their names listed in my Great Grandfather Jared's handwriting on the backing of a very old hard backed book, which was in our family bible. All the other information is knew to me. Many thanks.
Can I just ask if you are related or have just found the information for me.

I am really trying to find any living relatives. I know nothing of them except the information relayed to me from Canada by my namesake and second cousin, Gwynne (Hayward) Haller and that was about my ancestors.

I have already posted all the information I have on Ancestry.com, hoping that someone will contact me.

The family tree can be viewed and it is called Hayward Mellor Lever. I have also got a lot of old photographs of relatives but haven't a clue who they are, so I haven't linked them to the tree yet. The photographers came from Coleford, Monmouth, and Ross.

I have spend my holidays down in Symonds Yat for the past three years trying to see if I can research any further, visiting the grave yards of Abenhall, Mitcheldean and Longhope.

Hope you can help further

HAYWARD and GRIFFITHS of Abenhall and Mitcheldean

Gwynne Lever — Wed, 04 Jul 2007 09:28:57 +0000

My great grandfather Jared Hayward was born at 1 Gloucester Road Abenhall. I assume that this would have been at the junction of the main road through Mitcheldean where there is a dog leg junction going up to Abenhall. He was married at Mitcheldean Parish Church to a lady called Anne Griffiths.
I have got a great deal of information about my family and I know there are relatives in that area but I do not know what they are called. Can any one help. I live in Ashton under Lyne Lancashire near Manchester.
