Sorry I can't add much to your other respondent but I was interested as I live in Pool Hill myself and have been researching a Leighton for a book on the 1st World War memorial. Leightons abounded in Pauntley, especially Pool Hill, in the 19th century! I have found, when looking at Pauntley records, that some Pool Hill children seemed to have been baptised in Oxenhall and even Newent, for some reason - Pool Hill was split between Newent and Pauntley at one time, which might account for it, but it might be worth having a look there if you can't trace him in Pauntley. Shame the houses in Pool Hill didn't tend to have names at that time or I could get you a photo!
