Hello there, Thank you for the message. My problem is that I have a marriage in 1818 or near there, of Jesse Coulson to one Anne Ratton in the village of Hibaldstow in Lincolnshire. I have been uinable to find a baptism in Lincolnshire on the 1841 he say's he is born in County and he is dead by 1851. About six years ago I came accross a will for Ann Ratton's father in hibaldstow and as he only had daughters all of them were listed plus their husbands. To my amazement the name given for Ann's Husband is Joshua. I then went to the IGI and found only three Joshua's who might fit with a birth date of around 1792. One in Coventry and one in London, in High Holborn. I wentr down to The Metropolitan archives and checked it out to find that his father was also Joshua and that he was born in Caxton Cambridge. I was unable to find anything more about Joshua born 1792 in London. I then asked a cousin who claims to know that we have relatives in Cambridge, but none of my other cousins seems to have this idea, for details which he was unable to give me so another cousin went to Cambridge to check out the Caxton Coulson's but came back with nothing. I am specifically looking for details of what happened to the Coulson Family in Caxton in Cambridge especially the Joshua born around 1760's hoping that somebody will have looked at this line and can point me in another direction. My tree starts with Jesse aka Joshua in 1818 and from there on all but one either stay in Hibaldstow or marry locally. One only goes to Sheffield in 1860's and sets up a builer in Walkley. Here's hoping that you have bumped into this family.
