I live in gingerbread lane and am also doing a fair bit of research for the cottage that i live in
I dont think id know who the people were but could tell if they were anywhere in the lane or not if that helps

there is a wood named after your relatives that sits south below the mountpleasant farm on map and north of ringden wood called west wood
i think that he was a tennant farmer who sub let the cottages here on gb lane
which he was a tenant of both bedgebury park beresford and palliser from seacox heath estates next door to delmonden so could have just branched out
I think he was also a forester and im sure had something to do with the toll road andflimwell turn pike trust
phew
that should keep you busy xxxx
