hoping someone can help
« on: Thursday 25 October 07 12:53 BST (UK) »
You guys have helped me before and I am hoping someone can help shed some light on my 3rd great grandfather James Colly (Cully) as I am totally stumped!
I cannot find anything on him except his marriage certificate of 22nd August 1851 to a Helen Connoly. It states on it he was a labourman and of course this era didnt give parents names or ages. I cant find him on 1851 census and by the 1861 census Helen had remarried a Henry Glen. On this marriage certificate it states Helen was 29 in 1860.
Can someone give me help as to where to try and find my mysterious 3rd g grandfather as i cant even find a death certificate to give me a clue there either.
Where do i go now? please please help me.

Hi there
How old was James on his marriage cert?
Have you any idea where he was born?
I've had a look on the 1841 census but without an approx age there are too many possibles to choose from.

Hi - unfortunately on his marriage certificate. as it was prior to 1855 it doesnt tell you his age. All I can say is when he married Helen she was around 20.

Hi again Jacki
Silly question I suppose, but are you aware of any siblings names? If we could find something to use as corroborative evidence, he would be easier to pinpoint.......but I guess you've already been down this track. :-\
