Have you tried searching at http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~hughwallis/IGIBatchNumbers/CountyGloucester_(N-Z).htm#P ? for earlier years.

I do not have time to search the censuses - an LDS FHC search appointment calling!

Welcome to RootsChat  ;D

If you know his parents and who he married and what happened to his children, what extra information about him are you hoping to find?

From my personal records, the John Darke who married Esther Poole on 24 Dec. 1799 was from Rodborough.

Hi There,
I contacted you years ago about this family - John is my great x 4 grandfather and I am descended from Daniel (John's son from second marriage). You and I have done identical research back to Emmanuel in Bisley, then Painswick, Rodborough, Stroud etc. I think I had alerted you to the fact that John had married twice which solved a lot of research problems. I have searched through all the appropriate films for John's birth but unfortunately there are some big gaps in the films and I don't think we will be able to verify his birth. Have you seen my post on rootschat for the Rodborough Overseers? I was very fortunate in getting lots of help from this forum on that topic. I'm going to start a new thread on our family and our connection to woollen mills.
