Thanks slowhands for your reply.
Yes Ebenezer was apparently born in Pengethley,but I haven`t been able to find any birth record of this.His father ,Joseph, was a city pavier as stated in the 1842 Pigots directory of Gloucestershire Address Ryecroft Street. Would this job mean that he would have to had to travel , hence the children not being born in the same place and no trce of his extended family ?
I have a copy of Josephs death certificate 1888 in geelong Australia and on that it states that his father was James Trotter,malster ,and his mother was Mary Lane. This sort of makes sence as there were other Trotters in Coleford area who where also Malsters but no James Trotter. Who knows????
I found a census record on find my past web site for 1841 that shows that Joseph,Mary ,ebenezer and Mary in the rego district of Glouster Union.The estimated birth years seem to be right . Is this the same record that you sent me?
