HULBERT family Melksham, Bradford on Avon, Trowbridge WILTSHIRE

Surnames: HULBERT, HICK, ADY
Is anyone researching the HULBERTs from Melksham and surrounding villages who is not already in contact with me? I have pinned down Jacob Hulbert as having been born in Sept 1791 in the Melksham area and I think (but am not able to be 100% sure) he was the son of Richard and Betty (ADY). He served in the Peninsular Wars, giving a higher age than the truth on enlistment. He worked in the cloth industry, as did his whole family and relatives in Bradford on Avon after marrying Frances (Fanny) HICK in Feb 1815. They had 10 children, all in Bradford on Avon. Then, in 1849, he became a Chelsea Pensioner living in and wearing the scarlet jacket, and he died in the Chelsea Hospital in 1869.
Do contact me if we can help each other with our research.
