Carol , Just had a look at the Newspaper archives after Bills info above and there are a couple of references with these names but in Nottingham not Newark . Could be a connection ? Nottingham Guardian 08/07/1864 Weddings On Mon. 4th inst at Friar Lane Chapel.....Mr Henry Greensmith to Emma eldest daughter of William Crampton Coulby of Greyhound Street. Nottingham Guardian 12/02/1875 Deaths Emma died 10th Feb at Old Plough Inn, Beck Lane . Notting Evening Post 20/02/1880 Deaths William beloved husband of Sarah Laura Coulby and eldest son of William Crampton Coulby of Greyhound St . Age 33 This could be just a co-incidence butin the late 1800s there are numerous mentions of Coulbys living at Crampton House , Mansfield Rd. Sherwood. Which sounds like a large property .
