I can't see details but father John appears to be on his own in 1901

John Churchill Coleman
abt 1864 city, Dorset, England
boarder
city, Wiltshire


I think this is William in 1891

William J C Colman
parents John C (1864 Dorset), Lena C (1864 Somerset)
abt 1888 city, Dorset, England
city, Somerset

no other children

Deaths Mar 1900
Coleman Lena 36 Warminster 5a 103


without my subscription now I'm not having any luck finding William in 1901


Marie Celeste we may be looking for William Coleman as a passenger rather than Churchill ...


COLEMAN William 1888 M 1922 Liverpool USA New York
COLEMAN William 1886 M 1929 Southampton USA New York
COLEMAN William 1885 M 1932 Liverpool USA Boston

?


Anthony presumably you are in contact with the other person who has the multiple Churchill-Colemans in their tree that you have in yours and in particular has

Willie Churchill-Coleman 1888 Gillingham, Dorset, England


( by the way you have a lot of minors and living people in your tree that we can all see when we searched for the surname, I hope you have the consent of everyone concerned to put their personal details there ... 'hide living relations' does not hide them from tree searches, even though this is not made clear in the instructions, but you should not put details in your tree of anyone living without asking their consent )

There are several William Churchill's back and forth to USA around time given so hard to pinpoint.

Anthony would you stop sending me personal messages please ?

I explained how to post in the thread but you have now sent me another personal message in response to what I have just posted here

please use the 'add your reply' box at the bottom of the thread, please do NOT click 'send message' or click on my name and send me private messages

I will transfer your message here one last time but please note that you are -still- not responding to what is in the thread

What is 'Handford' ???????

... for starters ...

and exactly what is the 'step-uncle' relationship, he was a step-brother of your parent ? if you are descended from a child of John Churchill-Coleman and he was a child of John Churchill-Coleman possibly he was your parent's half-brother not step-brother ? or was he a child of Lena Arnold before the marriage ?

this isn't just asking for irrelevant information, your exact relationship to him is important, for instance if he was really an Arnold then that name has to be considered when searching for him



Chrissie,
The William Churchill born 1886 at Handford to John & Lena Churchill nee Arnold he eventually emigrated to the U.S. circa 1920/30's.I can only be vague as he would have been a step-uncle of mine and a lot of water has gone under the bridge.
Any thing I can find out will,I am sure will help.

he is one of these, if he shows in a census as born c1886 Blandford then he would be the first one

Births Dec 1885
Arnold William James Blandford 5a 251

Arnold William John Shaftesbury 5a 211


however ... possibly

Anthony has sent a PM, I have asked him to return to the thread, meanwhil since I have managed to find it I will add the info here



William aka Willie Churchill born1886

The only jnformation I have .He was born at Handford to John Churchill and his wife Lena nee Arnold,Unfortunately I can not be too precise but have been told he emigrated to the U.S.circa 1920/24.I apologise for being vague but this is all I know.
Tony



Tony could you at least tell us what 'Handford' is ?

also what your connection to him is, are you descended from John Churchill and Lena Arnold through another of their children for instance ?

that way we know what else you might know that would help locate more info

my own subscription to Ancestry expired a few days ago and I won't be renewing it immediately so I probably can't help more but perhaps someone else will be able to, but please post in the thread here and do respond to what has been added here by other members ... you see that probably a fair bit of time and effort has been wasted because you didn't give relevant information to start with, so please do answer questions here

btw freebmd finds no marriage for John Churchill and Lena Arnold ( or any other Arnold or Lena )

also the 'Churchill' is just added by Ancestry's system because the father's name was Churchill ... it can't be taken as evidence that her name was ever Churchill :-)

I hope Anthony comes back with some information !

Unless Hilda was born before their marriage, she can't be their child - the numbers don't add up. An alternative could be that Katherine was married before, even though she gives age at FIRST marriage as 38. Assuming that William's details are correct and he was first married 10 years previously, then why does Katherine state that her first marriage was 12 years previously? It must have been a 2nd (or 3rd) marriage for both of them.

It isn't stated at what age Hilda married.

possibly that William in the 1930 US census ? ... I do not subscribe for details

William E Churchill city, Niagara, New York abt 1885 England
spouse Katherine M Churchill abt 1880

one child who is shown as

Hilda F Rogers [Hilda F Churchill] abt 1904

so presumably she is married/widowed, no spouse shown ... or is a stepchild

what is Handford ? could this be a misreading of Blandford ? from some poking I think that might be the right area

possibly

in case, this is that William in 1891 in Hilton, Blandford, Dorset

this is where to find births deaths and marriages, Anthony

there was no Wiliam J born in 1886

you do need to tell us what you know about this William that we don't ... especially parents' names so he can be found in a census for more info about him

Anthony, the first thing you need to do is pinpoint his birth. You must know something else however small - how have you come by this name in the first place?
And have you tried 'search trees' as suggested?
