Hello Does anyone out there have any connection to Charles Coles or Ellen Kinshela. They married on 21 September, 1890 in the Parish of St James. They were both 22 and both residing in Bethnal Green. His father was also Charles Coles (dec) and her father John Kinshela (dec) I've looked for them in the Census and they just don't seem to be anywhere. I'm hoping someone can help me find them. Cheers Marcelle

Marcelle, I presume that your Charles and Ellen COLES are the couple found in West Ham (Essex) in 1891 and 1901. If so, in 1891 he is recorded as Charles F. COLES, born Bethnal Green. His age is hard to read and has been transcribed as 32, but it might be 22. 1891 - RG12-1310 folio 109 page 83 (Ancestry have indexed him as Chap F. COLES) In 1901 the family is recorded under COLE. 1901 - RG13-1563 folio 130 page 38 Bearing in mind the middle initial F shown in 1891, there's a likely baptism for Charles *Frederick* COLES on 20 June 1869 (born 1 June) at St Matthias, Bethnal Green, son of Charles (brewer's servant) and Elizabeth COLES, of 30 Menotti Street (Ancestry's London parish registers). The COLES family is found at that address (or at 34 Menotti Street) in 1871. 1871 - RG10-498 folio 18 page 30. In 1881 the family has moved to West Ham. The mother Elizabeth (née CLARK) has remarried (1878, St James the Great, Bethnal Green) to James Samuel WRIGHT. She is enumerated under WRIGHT, and her children are under COLES. Charles now has a sister Susan(ah) aged 7, who could be the Susan COLES who witnessed the 1890 marriage to Ellen KINSHELA. 1881 - RG11-1705 folio 57 page 40 (or search for C. F. COLES aged 11 in West Ham.) Again from Ancestry's parish registers, Charles COLES senior married Elizabeth CLARK on 26 June 1864 at St James the Great, Bethnal Green. Perhaps these are worth looking at? Say if you need the images.
