Colborne

[aghadowey]

Welcome to Rootschat but please don't use so many CAPITALS (it's considered shouting online).

David and Alice Colborne are here in 1901 census with Thomas (age 9) and lots of other children-

In 1911 it says they had 13 children but only 11 living-

The online civil registration index goes up to 1958 so you can look for likely deaths registrations there, then decide if there are any certificates you want to order (it the 4 euro research one you want)-

Note: Cree seems to be in Offaly/Kings Co. not Laois. The Poor Law Union/registration district is Parsonstown.

Couple of things.

The 1911 census differs to the 1901 census because some of the eldest children had left the household not died.

Cree (a townsland) has come under various districts in its time e.g. Ballybritt, Dromoyle, Kilcolman, Fortal, Birr/Parsonstown. County Offaly used to be referred as The Kings County.

Colborne has numerous spelling variants/mis-spellings/changes over the generations, e.g. Coleburn, Coalburn, Colborne, Colburn. Making it more difficult to research. Its modern form is Colbourne. D

The 1911 census clearly states number of children and how many living.

Yes, I stand corrected, misread the statement. Joseph & Ethel died quite young and not mentioned on either 1901/1911 census. D

I have just received a letter today from a Colburn couple in Cree.
They wrote that David Colburn husband of Alice Hyland died in 1926. David and Alice were this person's grandparents.
I am connected to the Colburn families of Cree through Richard Colbourn b. 1808 and shown in the 1821 census.  Richard spent his adult life in Tulla, Co Clare.
