William Coleman
« on: Wednesday 30 November 22 21:53 GMT (UK) »
I am looking for the parents and birth/ baptism and death of William Coleman who married Elizabeth Buckingham 14 June 1808 Cheltenham, Gloucestershire.
His children were William 1809, Harriet 1811, Thomas 1813, John 1815, Elizabeth 1816, Mary Ann 1819, James George 1821, Frederick 1827 and Lucy 1830 who died just after her mother in 1830 in Cheltenham. William is documented as a musician in some of the baptismal registers and on the marriage certificate of Frederick to Elizabeth Acton.

Frederick's baptism was 18/11/1827, and it would appear that the family were Non-Conformist as it was in an Independent Chapel.

There is a tree on Ancestry which has the following.

William Coleman
Spouse   Elizabeth Buckingham
Father   William Coleman
Mother   Elizabeth Bosley
Birth   19 Oct 1788 Cheltenham, Gloucestershire
Death   Jan 1869 Cheltenham, Gloucestershire,

However I cannot find a record to substantiate the birth but there are three possible records in the County on family search. The best match I can find on Ancestry is below but there are others, did the census returns give his place of birth?

William Coleman. Baptism Date:   7 Jan 1787
Baptism Place:   Longhope, Gloucestershire
Father:   Willm Coleman
Mother:   Elizth Coleman

The only death near to the above year of birth below?

William Coleman, age 79 death register Q4/1868
Westbury on Severn 5a/130
   
Colin
Clarke, Trickett, Orton, Lawless, Norton, Detheridge, Kirby, Goodfellow, Wagstaff, Lowe, etc.

Thank you for your suggestions. Unfortunately neither William Coleman or his wife Elizabeth appear on the 1841 Census. I have been to Longhope to try to verify the said William there but it is not my relative as that William is buried with his parents and was not the father of 7 children. There seems to be confusion over that William Coleman's baptism aswell as it says 1787, yet birth only 1788!
I have tried to follow up his profession as a musician without success. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
