Gloucestershire Herberts

Patricia Report 19 Oct 2014 02:10

Hi, I am tracing my ancestors in and around Bisley, Gloucestershire. Does anyone has a relative called Edward Herbert baptized 25 August 1776 at Bisley, Stroud, Gloucestershire and later married Lavinia or Ravinia Griffin on 22 October 1797 at Minchinhampton Gloucestershire. I am unsure if Edward was widowed and had a second marriage. Also I know he had a father called John, but do not know who John married or who John's parents were. I have looked at microfiches but can't solve the mystery. Perhaps someone registered with Genes Reunited might have the answers to some if not all of these questions.

Hi Pat


welcome to the Boards.



I'm afraid that you are not likely to get a response from someone looking at the Boards.


The majority of members do not use these Boards.


You should search the trees to see if anyone has Edward.



Got to Search in the top row

Click on it, then click on Search All Trees



If any member does show as having him in their tree, then you can click on that person's name and send them a pm (private message) through the GR system.


GR will send them an email to say there is a message waiting


If they still have the same email as GR has on its records, and IF they are still active, then you should get a response.



You can check on your Sent messages to see if anyone has opened a pm that you have sent .........


go to Messages (top row)

click on Messages, then on Sent


if there is a green envelope to the left of the person's name, the message has not been opened

If there is nothing to the left, then they have opened the message.

The GFHS Buriel Index 1813-1851 has several Edward Herberts' !

There are buriels for two who died in 1849

28 March 1849-Edward Herbert age 51 at Blackness
25 November 1849-Edward Herbert age 45 at Cirencester

05 November 1843-Lavinia Herbert age 66 at Stroud Blackness

Edit

Gloucestershire BMD has another one which looks more likely :-)

Edward Herbert-1849 age 73 Bisley Stroud
