Septimus Coulton

[David Hankey]

Looking for any information with regard to the above born Sep Qtr 1881, so after the 1881 Census, in Beetham, Kendal. Any details regarding his parents and in particular his whereabouts at the time of the 1911 Census would be greatly appreciated.

I know he moved to Aberystwyth, Wales at some point and married there in 1923.

Many thanks, David

Hi, KGarrad,

Many thanks for this information. I had no details of his siblings so that is a great help.

Any joy with the 1911 Census?

Regards, David

On Army records he gives wife as Sarah Smith widow Sarah Carter spinster - very faint!

Children listed as
John Coulton b.26/07/1902
Christina May  Coulton 15/05/1906
Frederick Coulton b. 1/3 1908

think the first 2 children were b Devon and Frederick was b. abroad

they appear on the 1911 index

Sorry we can't help with the 1911 census but it is free on Ancestry at the moment.    RootsChat has a thread which gives a lot of helpful suggestions about getting the best from the free index too:

Hi, Andrea,

Thanks for your message. I've had no success along the route you suggest and that's why I thought it worth an ask on here.

Can't see him in 1911?

But I noticed that, in 1901, he called himself Sap?
Living in Embsay with Eastby, Yorkshire as a boarder.

I have found a marriage for Septimus & Sarah, nee Smith, in Skipton, Yorks which all ties in quite nicely particularly as 4 years later he has named her as next of kin.

Still having trouble finding him on the 1911 Census either under Sap or Sep.

Thanks for all your help so far.
