jan

thanks again
linda

Must admit I am struggling with this one The Sevenoaks clue hasn't helped one bit! I assume he is related to the Coaley's in 1891 but of course no relationship given as they are boarders.
If his father is a coalminer you would expect them to be living in the North I think - not sure about Kent coalmining!
There is another variation with his "relatives" 1901 - Cooley!
