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
