I'm in the early stages of my Probert family research. My grandfather Frederick Probert was born 1861 in Osbaston, Monmouth where his parents Henry & Mary were farming. Henry was born c1820 in Lydbrook & his father was Thomas.
I have a pencil drawing by Frederick dated 1876 of a farmhouse adjoining what looks like part of a ruined castle or fortified building. In the distance are three arches of a bridge with a train passing under the bridge. It could be a mineral tramway. I wonder whether this could be The Priory.
