My family are Poole' from Maisemore Gloucestershire. The furthest I have got back so far is to Jesse Poole b. 1818.

From various Census records, Jesse and his son Samuel b. 1853 are both listed as blacksmiths.

Samuels son, Thomas Ewart Poole b. 1887, (my grandfather) was apprenticed as an ironmonger in 1902.
