No offence taken Shelli.....what a sterling lady to be mixed up with....LOL Helen....not so little x

Helen Lovett Sorry I jsut re-read the thread and realised when I replied to you last night I had read your name as Helen L, and not rad any further. So I mistook you fro Helen Little Nell........ I did wonder why you'd said not Nell with my build. So just wanted to say sorry,

Nite nite hun Debs x

Debs Thanks you so much really appricate it. I seem to be going in circles with this damm family, bnot for the first time either. Am off to bed now... school run in the morning :(

Shelli, I will keep looking, will make a note of it and keep at it for another hour or so, will post on here if I find anything. Debs x

Debs I have that cert... was SO certain it was mine. Sleaford isn't far. Even managed to make the name on Thomas Williams birth 1860 fit.... But thats an another branch of Coulbys. My sarah is Sarah Selmes....... and if you find I'l love you forever and a day. Hvae been looking for ages, spent fortune on 1837. searched from 1850 when she would have been 15 appox, right up to her death in 1869. And found Nothing. I have just sent off for four certs.. two birth and two deaths for children of John Coulby and Sarah Selmes who died v young.

Shelli, that Dixon is the same man entered twice, once at home and once staying as a visitor in an Almshouse....sorry can't find anything else, Helen....not Nell....lol....not with my build!

Shelli, Forgive my geography but how far is Sleaford? as I did find this one Coleby John Sleaford 7a 805 Coulby John Sleaford 7a 805 PALMER Sarah Ann Sleaford 7a 805 ROWLATT Mary Sleaford 7a 805 TOMLIN William Sleaford 7a 805 Debs x

Thanks Debs and Nell your thoughts appricated xxxx

Nell Just looked and I see what you mean about Dixon Coulby. On 1861 there is actually two Dixons one from Claypole and the other from Claypool I think my money is on teh Coby one.. hes living at South Cllingham which isn't far Newark. I have no trouble with the Coulby once they are in London, as we're the only one just about... but tracing them in Lincs is a nightmare, as thats where the name orginates!!!!

Shelli, I will have a look on the 1851 too, though doubt I wil find anything that you have not already seen, though must say I tend to agree with Nell on this one. Debs x

Deb according to the two census I have definately found him, he states Claypole as his place of birth. I can recall his death cert was registered by his neighbour, so his age is quite possibly wrong. There is a John Colby on IGI, 05 AUG 1832 Claypole, Lincoln, England parents George and Mattina But without finding him on 1851, or 1841 preferably with his parents. I can't prove that one on IGI is him. Can't find his marriage anywhere. That would give me his fathers name.

Can't give you proof, but my opinion for what it is worth is that the Holme John Coulby is not your man....he is down as servant as relationship to head.....looks more like an ennumerator mistake with the ditto marks under the surname. Also think that the Coby one is much more likely, the image for the other transcribed above as Claypool are very similar and on this and 1861 Claypole and pool seem to be transposed.....have you seen Dixon Coulby, from Claypole/pool in 1851/61 as an example? Helen

Shout at me if im wrong here but: First of all we dont know where he was for the first 30 ish (depends on birth yr) years of his life, maybe his parents moved, not sure again where his parents where from? Also as registration wasnt compulsory he maybe wasnt registered at all. Have you looked on IGI and found anything? His death cert will only give the age that the person who registered his death thought he was, I bet you find them tomorrow too! Debs x

Nell I know, have tried every variation of Coulby i can think of. Am so stumped with this family... can't find John marriage to Sarah anywhere, so am trying to take it back with out marriage cert. Am really clasping at straws here, so thought I;d get other peoples views on it. what do you reckon to the John Coby i just found?

MMMMMMM what about this one John Coby c 1833 born Claybool??? think it should be Claypool reading census. he 's a farm lab/ serv HO107 2136 F35 Pg 33

People's ages and birthplaces can vary on different censuses. I suppose you could check for other John Coulbys born at the alternative place on censuses too to see if there were two of them, or just the one. nell

Shelli, I suppose it would depend on where they were living, let me re read your thread... Back in a mo Debs x

Debs thanks yes you're right. There is a Claypole and a Holme in Lincs.. it just that they are a way apart So wondered if place of birth would vary that much..

Hi Shelli, My parents live near a village called Holme and thats in Cambs, but have just googled and lots of Holme names come up in Lincs, which is obviously where Claypole is.. Hope this helps Debs x
