My grandfather was George Wadley and I posted a message on 2.7.08 to ask if anyone knew of him. He claimed to have been born in the Forest of Dean circa 1852/55 but I can find no trace of him before 1881. There are a couple of other George Wadleys (one from Bristol and one one from Forest of Dean) but so far as I can tell, they aren't mine. He subsequently married in Bristol in 1888, lived in East Harptree and died in 1892 in hospital in Bath. Thank you for your assistance.
