William RUDGE / PROBERT 1811 explanation (General)

Sorry, no. Here they are on 1851 census at Scowles, Newland: James Probert age 66 ie 1785,(assuming he wasn't telling fibs) Ag Lab, b Goodrich, HEF, (ditto), Sarah 60, b West Dean.
On FOD Parish Records nothing under Goodrich: a few Probert sightings but no James.
There are 5 1700s baptisms for James Probert in other places.
1781 PROBERT James Baptism Newent
1790 PROABART James Baptism Bream
1797 PROBERT James Baptism Awre
1780 PROVERB James Baptism Lassington
1790 PROBERT James Baptism Lea
Awre and Newent are a fair step from Goodrich, but not sure about the others. Also FOD records are only for parishes in, or neighbouring, the Forest of Dean so if he was baptised in deepest Herefordshire he wouldn't necessarily appear on this site.

Good luck
