Yes, 'my' George Coles was the miller at Jordan.

Could this be who you are looking for? There is a Frederic Coles shown as being baptised in Moreton Hampsted on 12th June 1825. Mother is shown as Mary. No father shown.

I have taken this form the Family search website, so you will need to check the original.

I have George Coles baptised in Moreton Hampstead on 19th March 1826, with a father James and a mother Ann. I am reasonably certain, therefore , that he was Ann's brother, but am still looking for proof.

The above baptism for Frederic suggests he and George were not brothers, but cousins perhaps? Could Mary Coles to James Cole's sister? I have his name variously spelt Cole and Coles.

Thank you: that's really helpful. It gives me some basic information about her mother, which is great

I would be grateful if someone could look up any Hazlehursts living in Hanley at the time of the 1841 census.

Many thanks

I would be grateful if someone could look for a burial record for the above.

Should be between 1920 and 1945.

Very likely to be Nottingham.

I haven't been able to find her death certificate.

Many thanks.

Her marriage certificate shows her father as James and one of the witnesses is a George Cole. Her current address on the marriage certificate is what I know to be this George's, so I am pretty certain that he is her brother. He is shown in various censuses as being born in Moretonhampstead and indeed I have traced a baptism for a George Cole there on19/3/1826, with a father James and a mother Ann.

This seems to suggest they are all the same family, but no absolute proof and so no certainty that Mary's mother was this Ann.

In the 1851 census for Moretonhamsted there is a widower James with a daughter called Mary, who is the right age. However, no George (he would be an adult by then.) Mary is shown as being born in Moretonhamsted and on a later census I have what I definitely know to be my Mary as being born at Manaton. (Could easily be the same place, just misheard or mistranscribed.)

However, I cannot find a baptism or birth certificate for her anywhere!!

Can anyone trace a birth for me for

Mary Cole, father James Cole. Born 1838/39.

Some confusion as to where she was born: Manaton/ Moretonhampsed/ Widdicombe areas are all mentioned in other records I have for her.

(Nothing showing in the Moretonhampsted baptisms database.)

Thanks

I would be garetful if someone could look up:

1) George Cole in the 1851 census. Born Moreton Hamstead. Later a master miller at Widdicombe, so possible he had moved to there by 1851.

2) 1841 census: Moreton Hampsted:

George Cole (as above, aged 15)
Mary Cole (probably about 2 years old)
Father James Cole. labourer. Mother unknown.

I have a marriage certificate for Mary Cole, where father is shown as James Cole and the witness is a George Cole. I cannot trace a birth certificate for her, so am trying to link these together as a family unit and also get a mother's name, by using the census. In the 1851 census there is no George Cole living with Mary and James(who was a widower by then), so I am hoping they were all together in 1841!

Many thanks to anyone who can help.
