Colden surname
« on: Friday 10 January 20 17:55 GMT (UK) »
In my family history search I have an ancestor William Colden born in 1805 (1806) according to various census. He puts his place of birth as Closworth but I cannot find any information about his birth other than quotes in census or our family bible. the earliest entry I have found is his marriage on 1 Nov 1832 • St George Hanover Square, Middlesex, England.
I have contacted the Somerset and Dorset Family History Society but they could not help either.
Any ideas or help appreciated.
thanks.

Welcome to Rootschat

Looking at the 1851 census - William is the only entry with that surname born in Dorset.  Google shows Closworth as Somerset but bordering Dorset.   Only one entry b Somerset but she was married to a Colden b Worcestershire

Marriage entry definitely shows Colden but neither of the witnesses have that surname so no clues there

FS is showing 2 female Colden baptisms in Dorset and nothing in Somerset
