Proberts - East/West/Little Dean, Coleford and Cinderford (General)
I wonder whether anyone is able to help?
Currently i have traced my Paternal family history back to my ggggrandfather Thomas Probert but have been unable to find any cencus or birth/marriage/death records relating to Thomas. The details i have managed to obtain thus far are as follows:
ggggrandfather: Thomas Probert
Profession: Labourer
gggrandfather: John Probert
Born: 1869
Wife: Rosina (Rosa) Probert (nee Price)
Married: 14/11/1892 in St. John's Church, Coleford
Residence: Lane End, Coleford
Profession: Collier
Children: Beatrice Maud Probert (B. 1894/5), Leslie Oliver Probert (B. 26/11/1898), Edgar Roy Probert (B. 01/07/1911), Hilda (B. 1902), Ida (B. 1910).
gggrandfather: Leslie Oliver Probert
Born: 26/11/1898 in Upper Cwmbran
Died: 06/09/1940
Wife: Alice Edith Probert (nee Mustoe)
Married: 13/04/1925 in Parish Church, Cirencester
Residence: Mount Pleasent, Cinderford
Profession: Collier, Enlisted in the Navy 01/10/1915
Children: Leslie John Probert (B. 14/03/1931), Ivy Edith Probert, Edgar Roy Probert (B. July 1911).
If possible i would like to locate the birth certificate for John Probert or any cencus records relating to Thomas Probert. However as the names John and Thomas and the surname Probert are fairly common i'm having trouble distinguishing which records relate to my ancestors.
Any information will be greatly received.
Thank you,
Scott

Thanks slowhands,
Not sure this is my ancestor Thomas Probert thou.
According to the 1911 census John Probert is 42 making his date of birth about 1869. Also on John's marriage certificate he is 23 when he marries Rosa Price, making his date of birth also 1869.
However i have found this afternoon a record on the Forrest of Dean Family Site for Thomas Probert marrying Elizabeth Tyler on the 26th June 1866. There residence at the time was Coalway Lane End (Coleford) which ties in with the records i have for the Baptisms of Lonnie Victor and Hilda May Probert in 1904. Also with John being born in 1869, three years after the date of this marriage, this would also seem to tie in.
The marriage of Thomas Probert states that he was 28 when he married Elizabeth Tyler, making his date of birth about 1838.
The only trouble is there is a 38 year gap between the marriage of Thomas Probert in 1866 and the Baptism of Lonnie and Hilda in 1904, therefore If you are able to find any cencus records which would confirm that this Thomas is my ancestor i'd be very interested to see them.
Kind regards,
Scott
