If you don't have it, there's a possible match on www.freebmd.org.uk Frederick COLE was registered in the December quarter of 1859 in Clifton 6a 119. If you do have the birth certificate, let the list know the address in Clifton where Frederick was born and the occupation of his father, Frederick. This may help in finding the 1861 census entry if the COLE family was still in Clifton in 1861. On the Free BMD web site, there is a match for a marriage of a Frederick COLE with a possible bride Elizabeth BAKER. THis marriage was registered at Tetbury in the June quarter of 1859. I see that there was a Frederick William COLE in the 1851 Tetbury census who was 17 years old and whose occupation was 'App Taylor'. This would give an approximate birth date of 1834. However, the Elizabeth BAKER who was a servant in Tetbury at the time of the 1851 census was 20 years old so born c. 1831, which would not be such a good match for the 1836 year of birth which you have given. Perhaps this match is a red herring, but maybe worth pursuing if nothing else turns up.
