Rugby Clubs in Forest of Dean 1890 to 1908 (General)

Hi Dylan

My grandfather, Albert Robbins, played Rugby for Cinderford in the years before and after 1900 and I have been trying to trace a record of this.

My mother told me that as a young girl it was her job to wash the team's kit, by hand, no machines in those days, and it was extremely hard work as you can imagine.

My grandfather died in Coventry in 1938 and there was an obituary in a Forest newspaper which I remember reading as a child but this has been long lost. I have tried tracing it in Cinderford Library but the newpaper records for 1938 were missing and they Dean Forest Heritage Centre had no record of his playing days.

I would live to find out more and would appreciate any help.

Meryl
