Hi All Just thought I'd post this again in the hope that someone else may be looking for the same man. I am desperate to find his birth/baptism record. I can't trawl through the Baptisms records in Gloucestershire as I live in Lancashire. The earliest record I have is just an IGI member submitted record John Smart born about 1811 in Saul spouse Mary Holder. Also another IGI with Stroud as his birthplace. I have his marriage record to Mary Holder 3rd Nov 1836 in Rodborough with no parents recorded. I have found him in all the census until his death in 1874 age 64 at Tipton Staffs. In 1851 it states he was born Wotton under Edge. In 1861 & 1871 Stroud is his birthplace. He was a Boatman. I would be so grateful for any help. Regards Celia
