Maths not my best point clearly!! Have deleted my rubbish attempt!!

This is them on 1891, findmypast do not show 1901 - perhaps someone else can help you on that.

Nicola,

Thanks for the lookup - do you mean this to be for the husband Alfred as a child? It could be, but the age is 3 years out, which is less likely for a child.

I was hoping to find them as a married family so I could trace where they went..

I have given up with Ancestry as I can't find these, but I think on findmypast you can search for siblings? I would like to find them on 1891/1901

I have :

Alfred Colley born c1862
Ellen Colley born 1863 (Martley DIST, Worcs (various villages may appear on the census as birthplace)
children:
Alfred Colley b1891
Elsie Colley b1893 All children born Worcester.
Vera Colley b1896
James Colley b1899

I would have thought they stayed in the Worcs/Staffs area, but anything is possible.


hopefully....

thank you
