I have two favors of SKS. First will SKS check the 1851 census for Thomas Coleman and family. I need the birth place for the son John age 9. From information I received previously Thomas was a widower age 24. The second request is would SKS check the original image of the census for piece 1735 folio 256 sched 0043 to verify Thomas's age. He is a little young to have a son aged 9. The family I have piece together is as follows: Thomas Coleman married Louisa Faulkner Brackley Dec 1841 Son John born Headington Jun 1842 Daughter Ann born Brackley Mar 1844 Son Edward born Brackley Sept 1846 Daughter Elizabeth born Brackley Mar 1849 Wife Louisa died Brackley Mar 1851 Thomas must have remarried as he has two more children in the 1871 census and a wife named Mary Ann. It will be interesting to see the 1861 census for this family. Glen Alderson Calgary Alberta
he 1851 census has Thomas & all his children living in & born Turweston, BKM. But birthplaces in censuses aren't always correct. The place names you give were registration districts as well as towns, & if I remember correctly, Turweston was in Brackley registration district. The dates you give are for the quarters (ending those months) in which the events were registered, so they could have been born up to 4.5 months earlier. Headington is some distance away, in Oxfordshire, and there were other Coleman marriages there, so I wouldn't trust that birth. Another possibility is that young John married an older girl, who already had a son, & John isn't his, & wasn't originally called Coleman. It wouldn't be the first time. I've just had a look at Turweston in 1841, & there *is* a Thomas Coleman the right age - 15, in fact - Ag Lab, living with Ann, 20, Lace M. & head of the family, Caroline, 15, & Eliza 3. All born in county. Siblings, & parents dead? Parents away? Also, FreeBMD show the marriage of a Thomas Coleman in Brackley district in March quarter 1844, probably to Elizabeth Lovell. And there's a Brackley birth of a John William Lovell in Jun qtr 1841. who I can't see in Bucks in the 1851 census. What you really need (as well as checking if Thomas really was 24) are some certificates. Birth certificates will give both parents names, & the mothers maiden name - and if she had more than one previous name, both. Or you could pay for some searches of the Bucks FHS databases. Turweston baptisms are on it from 1695 to1874, marriages from 1575 to 1850, & burials from 1696 to 1934. Paul Glen Alderson wrote: >I have two favors of SKS.
