I found the Forest of Dean web site very useful: http://www.forest-of-dean.net/ and have compiled a preliminary list of 18th century Smarts that might be related (i.e. those near the Forest of Dean). These are linked as B, M, and D from: http://www.scholarshome.org.uk/ancestry/gen/smart_gloucs.html I have not done much research in the last 6 months, but an now returning to the task.
