Looking for Fortune family
« on: Tuesday 20 July 10 21:50 BST (UK) »
I am looking for descendants of the Fortune family that lived in Bisley or Bristol before 1860 when Joseph (b. 1810) and Mary (nee Striblehill) and at least two of their children (Mark and Paul) immigrated to St. Louis, MO. I believe that some of the Fortune family remained in Bisley or the surrounding area, and I would love to know if anybody knows anything about them or if there are any living descendants still around.

There are a whole host of Fortunes living in the Forest of Dean Area of Gloucestershire.

Maybe you will find a link:

You will need to register to get access to the Parish Records but it may well be worth your while, This is an excellent source for the Forest of Dean.
