Wow those Daniels were prolific weren’t they?  I’m sure we must have so many relations all over the country! I haven’t been on Ancestry for a while but I do have a screenshot of the ancestors I managed to trace from William and Charles’ parents if you are interested?  The Daniels didn’t move far from Churchdown at all and I got back to the 1700s to a baptism at Badgeworth Church which is only a couple of miles away.  I seem to remember their mother’s side coming from up in the Cotswolds somewhere, Hawling rings a bell though I’d have to check once I get back on Ancestry again because I did save the certificates/census information on there. As far as I can remember, we come from a long line of agricultural workers 😊.

Ah I see - that happens on my iPad but not on my phone 🙁.  I hope your day is improving Liz 😊.

I have just looked up on how to post photos but I’m none the wiser either 🙁

Hello Katrina - lovely to see your reply!  My grandfather was William Daniels ..... which may not help as it seems every other Daniels was a William!  His mother was Elizabeth Booth and his father was also William Daniels - they lived in Cheltenham and had twelve children altogether.  The house was too tiny for them all so some were sent to live with their grandparents (William and Elizabeth née Price) and aunts/uncles at The Old School House, where they ran a tea garden.  I have just remembered that I haven’t picked up my copy of the book that I lent out to PoloMint (I think!).  We’ll have to meet up again in better times!  I know there is a photo of some Daniels children on the gate outside the Old School House.  I seem to remember that our local history society has a good photo too of older Daniels outside the house.  None of the people are named though.  What ancestor of yours lived there Katrina - I’d be interested to see the connection 😊?
