Hi David
I wrote the first post in this topic because I would be very interested to know whether there is a connection between the Merthyr Tydfil Winstone family and my ancestors who lived in Eastcombe near Stroud.
My ancestor Charles WINSTONE was born in 1828 and was a mason/builder along with his brother Lot WINSTONE. His grandsons moved to the South Wales valleys in the 1900s. And other than the prosperity connected to coal etc in the area, I wonder whether there were relatives living here too.
I note from Free BMD that there were WINSTONEs' births registered in Merthyr Tydfil in 1837 onwards. So if there is a connection, it goes back further than that.
So I'd be really interested to hear if you do find a connection with the Stroud area.
All the best with your research.
