Wiltshire / Re: Hobbs of Easterton & Market Lavington

Thank you for all the info, Capetown!
I am familiar with the Market Lavington Museum Blog.
I've just begun combing through the British Newspapers for Hobbs.
The James Hobbs in 1852 is my direct ancestor, I recognise his address (a cottage near the Royal Oak) from the 1851 census.
I believe the Samuel Hobbs who stole fowls in 1819 is also my direct ancestor, the dates seem to fit.
I keep seeing a Jonathan Hobbs, tin-plater and brazier, of Bristol, and wonder if this might be the Market Lavington born Jonathan? I would be interested if anyone has any other information.
