Scots in Wales!

[Forbesfam]

I have all the children of Roderick Forbes who was my great great grandfather  he had 18 children with his wife Jessy Mabon!!!!!!!, seems he was a Gardneer , I wondered if he was a landscape gardener , first children born Denston Hall, next 12 born at Walcot Hall Shropshire, the last 5 born at Wynnstay Gardens.

Must have needed a sizable house to live in
any info from anyone, I am a novice

Hi and welcome to Rootschat 

If you read through this thread carefully, you'll find that we thought that the most likely Roderick was born in 1792 in Edinburgh.

I've done a thorough search on my Scottish records and can only find the Roderick s/o Roderick and Elizabeth, St Cuthbert, Edinburgh 1792.

I then did a check on the Scottish 1841 and this Roderick doesn't seem to be there, so he is a strong possiblility. It might be worth checking the E & W 1841 for any other Rodericks born Scotland. To be extra sure.

Is there any other information that you'd like?

Sorry, I am not very good at computers and do not know how to read the thread ,but will learn , yes Roderick Forbes was born 1793 in Roxburgshire....he had a son Roderick ( also shown as a gardener died  in Bolton Lancs ) Roderick Forbes and his wife Jessy Mabon had a child every year from 1819, my great grandad Walter was the 11th child.
