A little while ago the list may recall me trying to locate Ron Hobday, as I had discovered there was a link between the Hobdays and the Wales families. I was unable to contact him by telephone at his last known number, so I wrote to the address, c/o The Hobday Family or Occupier. I explained the reason for my request for contact and kept my fingers crossed. This morning I had a lovely letter from one of Ron's sons, to whom the letter had been passed. Both Ron and his wife Mary had died, and the house was sold, but Ron's son lived not far away, and the new owners of the house forwarded my letter on to him. He does not know were Ron's research papers are, but had a copy of a little booklet entitled the Family History of the Hobdays of East Kent and the Harrises of Herefordshire. Obviously I cannot vouch for any of the information therein, but I can say that the info on the Wales' side is in complete agreement with all my own research, so I think we can take it that Ron's! information is correct. If there is anyone out there who thinks the booklet may contain anything of interest to their own research I will be happy to look, Let me know. Regards to all, Linda Wales

First you will have to locate a copy of the book, this may require an email to local archives and East Kent libraries to see if a copy has been donated. Unless a IOT subscriber is sitting on one? Does Hobday have a one name society?

Hi everyone, I've been in touch with Ron's nephew recently who has THE book!!!! He was kind enough to scan and send the Sandwell pages to me - so if anyone wants them let me know - but be warned it takes a while to download. I will get in touch with his nephew and see if he doesn't mind giving his contact email. He said that he has only just started looking at his family tree - so he might not want to be inundated - I will find out.
