Hiya Nicky
I guess my brain had suddenly stopped working of course some dates would of been a bonus tut tut! big sorry for that. What am I like ha!
But a big thanks  to you for the reply. Yes you have the right Colston.
The Gregory family had him as a lodger at 33 Gladstone Street, Bristol, age 12 where you found him. I can get him aged 2 years on the 1891 census living in Eastville Bristol.
And I have the month of his birth: March in 1889 from that years census in Bristol (Barton Regis). I have been told he join the Army aged around 24yrs, which would of made the year 1914. And he was also sure to of been in the Calvary
Here,s hoping you can help once again cheers.

Hi-ya
Can anyone help?.  I am looking for infomation on my Grandfather.
Name:   Frederick Mildern Colston
Born:     England/ Bristol March 1889
Census:   Barton Regis of that year.

He then appears aged 2years 1891 in the district of Eastville still in Bristol.

Then he appears again in the 1901 census aged 12yrs.
Living as a lodger in the household of
WALLACE J GREGORY (head of household)
Occupation: Wheelwright
Address:  33 Gladstone Street Bristol.

From there I have no knowledge of what happened to him.  I was told that he enlisted in the Army at the age of 24yrs, in the Calvery regiment, but this is uncertain. I believe that my grandfather may of had siblings. But again this I am not certain of.

He married Jessie or Jessica Duffy or Duffield, who was born in Wales and had 2 brothers, that is all I know.

Would be so pleased to find any info. I have tried without any luck at all.

Many thanks
