Thank you Capetown for taking the time to search the  parish register for Beckford. Still no sign of the elusive Sophia, perhaps she was baptised under another name and later adopted Sophia as a Christian name.

I will give much thought to the info you have supplied.


Thank you again and all very much appreciated.

Been trying to find out what happened to John & Mary's two daughters christened at Churcham

Ann COLSTON 1791 and Comfort COLSTANT 1795 - also his wife Mary - can't find any record of them.


The UK Register of Duties Paid for Apprentices' Indentures which included

Wm COULSON in Welland, Worcester 1795 to Wm COULSON, a Wheelwright



1851 Census, Worcestershire, Birtsmorton

William CHARLSTON - 50 - Wheelwright, born Welland, Worcestershire, (assume son of the above)
Comfort - 10 - born Welland, Worcestershire  ****
George - 8  (Freebmd - George Alfred COLSTON, Worcestershire, A/M/J Qtr 1853) - Mother's maiden name: Mcclee on GRO)


On the 1851 Census, Ancestry has the surname: CHARLSTON - but Comfort doesn't appear to have married and in later census 1911 the surname is COULSON. and in 1871 Comfort COLSTON


? Is Comfort a COULSON family name


1841 Census, Birts MORTON, Worcestershire

Lower Farm

William COLSTON - 40 - Carpenter
William - 11
Betsy - 10
Mary VEAL - 20 Housekeeper
Comfort  (Ditto) ie VEAL   - 6 months

John COULSON was also a Carpenter - in a similar trade


--

Just to recap : John COLSON married Mary DEE - 9 November 1790 at Churcham, Glos.

Is this just a coincidence   UK Register of Duties Paid for Apprentices:

10 February 1795

Master's Name: John COLSTONE Jnr:  Cordwainer
Apprentice Name: Thos DEE

residence: Castlemorton, Worcester


--

On the Forest of Dean records - there are only two DEE'S listed at Churcham, the marriage of Mary Dee in 1790 and marriage of Caroline DEE in 1840, father Thomas.
