Looking for Hubert Smedley. The only thing I can find on him was that he was born in "N K" in the Forest of Dean. I know he was born in 1860 and was in Yorkshire by the time the 1901 census came out. Any ideas or leads I can try? Thanks ev1!!!!

hi m p griffiths,
thank you for that census! I've got that one but I don't seem to be able to find him in the forest of dean anywhere. i'm trying to find out where he was born and to whom.
thanks for your interest in me.

If you read Marilyn's reply again I think you will find that she has given you Hubert's parents - George Smedley and Caroline Griffiths. Census also states Hubert was born in Yorkley, FoD.

Thank you, thank you, thank you everyone!!!!
This makes so much more sense now. Yes, there were rumours of him being born out of wed-lock.
