Does anyone have any information of George Hitt who was a bootmaker in Cinderford High Street during the early 1900's? He was my great grandfather and I know that he was born in Bethnall Green, London and later moved to Nottingham before settling in Cinderford and starting his own business.
Any details would be very welcome as I am researching my family tree.

Thank you so much to "Slowhands", you have given me a lot of leads. My grandmother was Ruby Lucenia. Unfortunately, as my great uncle Alfred (her only brother) died in WW1 the name Hitt/Hett died out in the Forest of Dean. I am sure there must be some distant relatives still in London & Nottingham though.

I have come across HITT in Devon and Dorset before as well as a University pal who came from Bristol.
Yours appear to go back towards Bideford , North Devon,(1841 at least) which I suspect will yield a large number of "cousins".
There are at least 19 HITT entries in London today,and 6 in Nottinghamshire
good luck S
