Looking for information on family of William David Christie born about 1829 Perthshire Scotland and his wife Ann. They moved to FOD approx 1853 William was a Forest Keeper. Any help would be much appreciated. Very interested to hear which Forest Lodges he lived at, does anyone know of a list of the keepers at each forest lodge?

They appear to be living at Herbert(s) Lodge on Ruardean Hill / Brierly.
The house is there today , although much modified.

Thank you for that I have some copies of New Regard. The Wm Christie at Staple Edge Lodge is William Davids Son Wm. William David is also in the picture on the right, with long white beard, and is still at Herbert lodge at that time.
There is an article in New Regard No22 page 14 under heading Promotion and movement of Staff - am wondering if either of the William Christie were involved in this "misdemeanour". I have tried to find further information on this but without success.
devil in the detail !

Another interesting entry about my great great grandfather. How did you come across this? Is William David a relative of yours? If so I would be interested to hear from you - do get in touch.

No relative - just thought members of the forum may find the website useful and just searched the word Nailbridge on 'Last Chance to read; (there are 460 hits for 'Christie') - from all over the Country. Found it interesting how Christie branded his horse - Was just experimenting with Forest of Dean names e.g. Cinderford, Blakeney - and appeared to get various hits.

There is a project - 'Historic Welsh Newspapers & Journals Digitisation project - which my understanding is - will be a free resource ... http://www.llgc.org.uk/index.php?id=4723
While most of the titles are printed in Wales there are a few notable English Newspapers as well
In particular ...
Hereford Time - 1832 - 1886
Salopian Journal - 1794 - 1872 (a very interesting Shropshire newspaper
Shrewsbury Journal - 1816 - 1850
Gloucester Journal - 1814 -1824
..... and am working through my 18th century Gloucester Journals (largely bound from 1765) and all my Gloucester Heralds are already on line'
CHRISTIE, William David 1880s
Hi from Australia.
This is a longshot but I am trying to trace a William Christie who was a stable boy at Newark House, Hempsted in 1900/01. Google maps shows that Hempsted is about 14 miles from East Dean. The forum shows a William L Christie born abt 1882 Kensley Lodge, East Dean,Gloucestershire. UK immigration records also show a CHRISTIE Wm Born 1882 emigrated in 1923 from Glasgow to Canada (Quebec).
William joined the Dragoon Guards during WW1 and following that emigrated to Canada and joined the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. I think the 3rd Prince of Wales Dragoon Guards amalgamated with the Scottish 3rd carbiniers in 1922 and as the family had gone to FOD from Scotland, it may be the same person. He was the only William Christie that I could find in Gloucestershire about the right time and age and who had emigrated to Canada.
Any assistance appreciated.

The William Christie born 1882 Kensley Lodge is definately not the William Christie who emigrated in 1923 from Glasgow.
Could the William Christie you are looking for possibly be William Christie born 1883 Bristol, Gloucesteshire who on the 1901 census was living at Oakdene, Raleigh Road, Bristol, Gloucestershire with his widowed mother Sarah Christie and his two sisters?
