Gerald Cobley's Family History Site
I have been researching my family history on and off since about 1997. These are the results of my findings which I publish in the hope that they will aid others in their research and they in return could add to my own findings. Invariably there will be inaccuracies and omissions and I would welcome any contact that will help rectify these.
Since publishing these pages a number of other Cobley researchers who have turned out to be distant cousins have provided me with information on their descendants. I have also received information on other local Cobley families with links back to Pensford/Publow. Adding this information means the site is gradually becoming a record of the wider family and its spread throughout the world, also the start of a record of South Wales Cobleys. So any further contributions are most welcome.
Please note that information relating to living persons has been omitted unless they have personally agreed to publication.
