Hi Marilyn, I knew you wouldn't be able to resist finding out more about the goat! I spotted this in an old Journal of the Gwent Family History Society. "Extracts from the Monmouthshire Merlin 1st May 1891 This day's Police - Newport Borough Before Mr H PHILLIPS & Counc. D A VAUGHAN Goat Straying Henry HULBERT was summoned for allowing a goat to stray in Commercial Road. Police Constable FOSTER saw the goat butting several people. Defendant said he was feeding it to kill it and Mr KESSICK told him to keep it tied up. Dismissed with a caution." You should be able to find him (but not the goat) on the 1891 census, so that might help to identify him. Best of luck!

I have made more progress - not necessarily in the right direction, so I think I will restate the story. You will have to bear with me as you will see my family gives new meaning to the expression "extended family"!!! My grandad was born in 1865 in Hawkesbury and married in Cheltenham in 1921 - and was 65 when my Dad was born. We therefore started doing our Family History to fill in the gaps and understand the various passing relatives that my Dad met, but never had a clear vision of where they fitted in to the family. Grandad left my Dad various notebooks (his accounts from Kingscote are on CD at Archive CD Books) and in one of these these are addresses including a Mr E Hulbert at St Woollos Monmouthshire. (This is a suburb of Newport now) For a long time I believed this was my grandad's cousin Edwin John HULBERT born 1849 (yes- his mother Grace was 15 years older that grandad's father James). I now think he (Mr E ) was another member of my family, but I have never found out who. This is because I'm now fairly convinced that Edwin went first to Tewkesbury (where he married) and then to a farm at Awre near Blakeney in the Forest of Dean - it took a long time to track him down because of the quaint transcripts of Edwin's accented rendition of Hawkesbury as well as his propensity to be called or to call himself John and Edward. This fits with a report that my grandad's only comment when my cousin John was named was "I had once an uncle called John" (this is still the only Hulbert named John that I have found). This is all very enigmatic and to be honest still drives me crazy from time to time. If however anyone on the list comes across anything remotely related or helpful, I'd appreciate the info... one day it might all fit together!!!!
