For the past few years I have been researching my genealogy. Both of my paternal Grandparents came from Lydney. I have a picture (above) of my grandmother( maiden name Nelmes) standing with her mother and siblings outside their long demolished cottage at Lydney Harbour where there father John Nelmes was head lockgateman. The photo is circa 1920. I suspect he took it. I spent last weekend in Lydney with my Dad and sisters chasing my ancestry! Their lives were based around St Mary’s and the harbour. It was fascinating.
