I have Richard COLE (b c1824, Pennington) in the 1841 census and also his future wife, Jane BRAN (b c1824, Pennington). They married in 1843. I also have them in the 1861. They were in Milford (Lymington RD) and Richard was a Sawyer. Could someone with access to the 1851 and 1871 censuses see if they can find them and tell me what children they had please? The children I know about are: John, Elizabeth, Eliza, George, Harry, Richard, William and Jane. TIA -- Charani (UK)

In '51 they have; John, Elizabeth, Eliza & George. In '71 there are; George, Harry, Richard, William and Jane. Richard snr is listed as widower. FreeBMD has; Mar 1865 (>99%) COLE Jane Lymington 2b 44_ and Mar 1866 (>99%) COLE Jane 42 Lymington 2b 390 as possible deaths. Given that Jane (dau) is listed as 5 yrs old, and the AaD matches, I think that the latter is probably the right one. I couldn't find a likely match for birth registration of the daughter. -- Regards _ / ) "The blindingly obvious is / _)rad never immediately apparent" People stare like they've seen a ghost Titanic (My Over) Reaction - 999
