I WOULD be very pleased to hear from anyone who knew

my grandfather Henry Isaac Jones or my grandmother

Annie Elizabeth who lived and died in Lydbrook.

My mother Dorothy Florence Jones is 94 years old

and lost both her parents when she was about seven years

old. She was eventually adopted by an aunt and uncle in

Yorkshire when she was 16 years old but before that was

raised by 'Granny' Mary Anne Gunter in Lydbrook. Granny

Gunter was really my mothers aunt, sister to her father.

There were also two other brothers, James and John.

Mum says she was born at a place called Cop

meadow but cannot remember much about the place and

longs to hear more about her family, any little titbits will

fill in some blanks for her and for her children.

Can you help? Do you have any old photographs that

we could copy and make an album for her. We may have

left all this a bit late, but you know the old saying better

late than never and it would make an old lady very happy

to be reunited with her family even if only in photographs.

Please help if you can, any scrap of information is

better than nothing. My name is Irene Toddington and I

live at Tregantle House, Tregatillian, Cornwall TR9 6JQ. My

telephone number is 01637 880843. Thank you for any

information.
