Children of Tobias Colbourn
« on: Friday 21 December 07 18:41 GMT (UK) »
Tobias Colbourn b. 1857 Stepney was living in West Street Godmanchester by 1881 when he married  Bertha Rebecca King also living West Street.

There are 4 known children but, after the death of Tobias in 1893 aged 36, there seem to be 2 more children --Frank William b. 1897 and Edith Maud b. 1900.

Can anyone shed light on 1901 census details of these two??

All help most welcome. :-\

Perhaps Mr Frost may have had something to do with Frank and Ethel.
