The transcript on the Forest of Dean records for John Ward, mother Elizabeth, states this was her 2nd illegitimate child.

There is a baptism at East Dean Methodist two years earlier
31 May 1885

Alfred John Albert WARD, mother Eliza

Residence : Hansley

Does the H in the second baptism stand for Hansley?

On Gloucestershire Records Office, 1885 baptism, the residence is transcribed as Hausley and Eliza is non-comformist.
