In the 1780s there was a industrial area in Cefn Cribwr called Bedford Park. If you go to the following web site it explains the history.

Hope this helps.

Thank you Capetown for taking the time to search the  parish register for Beckford. Still no sign of the elusive Sophia, perhaps she was baptised under another name and later adopted Sophia as a Christian name.

I will give much thought to the info you have supplied.


Thank you again and all very much appreciated.

Thank you Capetown for the information.

I had noted the variations in the spelling of Coulson and also viewed the records on the f-o-d website but had discounted many of them, yes the marriage to Hannah has to be a second marriage for John.

The marriage to Mary Dee in 1790 is a possibility as this would fit in with Sophia's birth in 1795, but with no proof of a baptism for Sophia its still open.

Why would John put Beckford down on the 1851 census as his place of birth, he must have some link to there.

Thank you for help.

Thank you avm228 for your reply.

Yes you are right I missed my notes as to Sophia's death in 1889 and the date of birth of 1795 looks more likely, but I cannot find her baptism in Churcham, so i wonder if she is from Beckford which is now in Worcestershire.


Thank you.

Gloucestershire Lookup Requests / Sophia Coulson
« on: Sunday 26 August 18 15:03 BST (UK)  »
Looking for Baptism and parents of Sophia, I have found her marriage to Samuel Hathaway in 1816 in the parish of Churcham also I have Sophia on the 1841 to 1861 censuses, and her death in 1865.

Her marriage transcript yielded no clues to her parentage though there are two witnesses a John Coulson and John Stephens, there is a John on the 1841 census in Churcham aged 70 Occ carpenter also again on the 1851 for Churcham aged 84 here he states Beckford as place of birth.Any help would be much appreciated.
