Post by: PenelopeG on Tuesday 30 January 18 21:27 GMT (UK)
These are my great great great grandparents. Possibly of Park End Forest of Dean.  They were married at  Awre 16 December 1826. Any information on them : predecessors or offspring  would be very interesting to me .

Why thank you ! It seems right as Richard Rees could be the father of my Grandfathers' Mother: Alice Beatrice Constance Rees . How did you manage to locate information? Regards Penny

Thank you Groom , for this info . I should have the nons to do this myself. I think David Rees was born in  Panteg  Mons, as my Sister has a photograph of them, both, from the Mormon Site, when they are quite old. I would be interesting to know who could have posted that photo ,as it must be some  relation contemporary to us. Bed time! Regards Penny
