Does anyone have an interest in the COLE and/or MANKELOW (and variation) families of the Tonbridge area in the late 19th century, please? I am particularly interested in William MANKELOW, born about 1863 in Tonbridge who married Annie Marie COLE. They are shown in the 1901 and 1911 Censuses living in Shipbourne Road, Tonbridge with their family. They emigrated to Canada in 1914. I am unable to find a reference to either William's birth or their marriage in the GRO Index, as I would like to obtain a copy of the certificates. Does anyone have access to the Baptism and Marriage records for Tonbridge, please? Thanks for any help. Chris Page

Hi Chris I've done a search with various wildcards, etc on Ancestry and FreeBMD with no joy. I did find this site http://mckellow.com/familytree/index.html which mentions your couple but you're probably aware of it anyway. Just a couple of questions. How do you know the surname of the wife? Was it on the birth certs of the children? There's always the possibility that they never married, or the marriage details never got as far as the Index registration. FamilySearch has a submitted entry which says the marriage was about 1884 in Hildenborough. There is also a submitted Pedigree Resource File for a William MANKELOW with parents Charles MANKELOW and Annie COLE, which matches up with Nivard's find. Annie, however, is born in Suffolk. Where does she say she was born in the census?
