Greetings from Cardiff. I am searching for my Great,Great,Grandfather William COULTHARD he was born circa 1831,possibly at Newcastle upon tyne.The son of William COULTHARD. I have the Marriage Certificate of him of 1853,when at the age of 22 he married  Martha EVANS at St;Mary's Church Gateshead in the county of Durham. This was on the 5th;of June 1853. William was a Batchelor aged 22,a "Joiner" of West Street,the son of William COULTHARD an "Engineer". His bride was Martha EVANS,aged 22 a Spinster of the same address,the daughter of Henry EVANS a "Smith". The two witnesses to this marriage were Edward TOPHAM and Elizabeth MERELIE.Married after Banns by S.A.HERBERT,Curate. The EVANS family originate in Milford haven West Wales,and I have tracked them all down through the Generations. The COULTHARD family on the other hand are very Ellusive! I have William COULTHARD jr;in the 1861,71,81,91 and 1901 Censuses at Milford Haven.     In all of them except 1861,he told the enumerator he was born in Newcastle Upon Tyne. In the 1861 howvere,he told him he was born in Scotland. I do know that there were a family of COULTHARD who were "Engineer's"living in West Street,Gateshead in the 1851 census. However,I have Never found out where my William COULTHARD was in 1851? That is to say,Niether William Sr;or Jr; My Great,Great,Grandfather also went under the name of William Mckinley COULTHARD. and was listed in the Death Indexes under that name when he died on October 1st;1906 aged 83 in Hubberston,Milford haven,West Wales. His son Joseph COULTHARD,[1862-1952] was my Great,Grandfather. He was a "Twin"of George COULTHARD.Both born in Milford haven. Cheers,Graham. From:- Graham WILLIAMS of Canton,Cardiff. Glam;FHS;#551.
