Devon / William Henry Coles
« on: Saturday 27 October 18 17:37 BST (UK)  »
My g-grandfather William Henry Coles born 29 March 1853 died 25 February 1933.

I have various documents confirming these dates e.g. family bible and navy records but the GRO do not have birth details in their index. I had hoped to find his mother's maiden name by purchasing the certificate.

I have found his death certificate.

Any ideas?

Devon / Death and Burial of James Dobb.
« on: Tuesday 23 October 18 15:46 BST (UK)  »
My 3rd g-grandfather James Dobb was born Jan 1809 in Exeter Devon.
He married Mary Ann Venn on 20th Dec 1835 in Saint Peter Cathedral, Exeter Devon.
They had seven children; six born in Broadclist Exeter and the seventh in West Teignmouth Devon. James, Ann,William,John,Sarah,Richard and Charles.
Mary Ann died 3rd Nov 1891 a widow and is buried in Teignmouth cemetery. She is shown as a widow on the 1871 census.
James is shown on the 1861 census as working as a carter in Woodbury Exeter. His son Richard was working with him. They were both lodgers with the Back family.
I cannot find James' death record ;one possibility in 1866 I'm waiting for that certificate. He is not buried with his wife Mary Ann.
In 1891 when Mary Ann died their eldest son James had a china shop in Plymouth.
Their surname name is often spelt incorrectly on documents e.g. Dobbs  and Dabb.
Any suggestions of where to look for James Dobb's burial?

Devon / William Henry Coles
« on: Friday 10 August 18 14:09 BST (UK)  »
My great grandfather William Henry Coles D.O.B. of 23rd March 1853 given on UK Royal Naval Seaman Index Service Number 6781B .
GRO shows possible birth of a  William Henry Colles (mistake perhaps) born Newton Abbot Vol 05B page 105. mother's name Maynard.
Is there anyway I can check if this D.O.B. information is correct?
I found a baptism for William Henry Coles 24th April 1853 father John Coles a carpenter and mother Mary Ann Coles.
I have two family trees on ancestry (Coles Tree and New Coles Tree) but my relatives have asked for them to be private.

I believe the couple are my great-grandparents but not sure.  It states the photo was taken in 1917 but unsure the date is correct.
Any improvement to the photo would be greatly appreciated.

Another photo from my Grandfather's collection.  This is dated 1917 on the back.

Not sure if it is possible to clean it and make it clearer.  Love it if anyone could.

Thank you.
