Hi, can you assist? I am trying to get more information on my "Cole" ancestors. This is what I have:
William Nicholas Cole. Born 30/8/1783 in St James, Westminster. D 28/6/1849 in Southampton.
His wife was Louisa (obtained from their son Alfred,s birth certificate) I would love to know Louisa's maiden name and parents.
William's parents were:
John Peter Cole. B 23/10/1742 at St James, Westminster. D 28/3/1810 at St James, Westminster.
Sarah Green. B 20/6/1758 at St James Westminster. D 16/6/1802 at St James Westminster.
I have no information on either of their parents.
We also have a family name, "Sholto" from this side of the family. I would love to find out where it originated.

Gortonboy, many thanks. The marriage of WM Cole to Louisa Whitbread in 1820 is a breakthrough. It looks correct as their son Alfred was born in 1823. It is possible that Mary was a previous marriage, but my interest is in Louisa Whitbread. Any thoughts on where the family name "Sholto" might have originated?
Regards
Pat

Hi
The three witnesses to the marriage of Louisa and William N Cole, could be the children of the above John Whitbread and are mentioned in his Will along with Louisa, dated 12 July 1814, proved 13 Oct 1814.

Hi
Found a reference to the name SHOLTO ~ it has it's origins in Scotland, and is often used as a male/boys name.
Meaning " a sower of seed " :)

The most famous Sholto ?
Marshal of the Royal Air Force William Sholto Douglas, 1st Baron Douglas of Kirtleside, GCB, MC, DFC was a senior commander in the Royal Air Force.
I am looking at the Cole family
George Montague Cole and Alfred Whaley Cole. George a Bank Manager and Alfred a Judge. Brothers both emigrated to South Africa from England. George's daughter Gertrude Wynne Cole Singer and Actress born South Africa and later in England (for second marriage) and moved to British Guiana, then died in England.

I am linked into Gertrude Wynne Cole, daughter of George Montagu Cole (sometimes Montague). GMC is son of William Nicholas Cole. Both GMC and GMC's brother Alfred Whaley Cole were in South Africa. Gertrude Wynne Cole married Seymour Dallas in South Africa, divorced in South Africa.
GWC married again to Bernard Vidal Shaw in England, went to British Guiana with him and died in England.
GWC was a Singer and Actress.

The youngest child of the Cole/Whitbread marriage is Emily Whitbread Cole born Islington 22 August 1821 and baptized 10 January 1822 Islington. She married Thomas East Lomax 1844, Marylebone
There is a website "Tollis and Berger" that had quite a few references to the Cole family

There is a thread on here regarding James Montague Cole b 1812 Northamptonshire
http://www.rootschat.com/links/01l83/
I find it interesting Montague Cole seems to be a name appellation through a few Cole families. I wonder of the link?
