Title: 1901 Census - Oadby - Colver Family
Post by: Inchworm on Saturday 07 January 06 20:46 GMT (UK)
Hello  :),
Please could somebody find for me George Colver b.1851 Oadby. I believe his wife to be Sarah.
They had Percy b1894 Oadby, Mabel b1900 Oadby plus other children born somewhere in Essex.
Help would be really appreciated.
Regards,
Inchworm  ;D

Many thanks for finding them. That was just what I was hoping for.
I also need a 1901 lookup for two Frank Colver , they were cousins and were both born about 1886-8 in either Oadby or Wigston Magna area.
Would it be too much of a cheek to ask for another lookup?

Regards,
Inchworm  :) ;)

Hi Sarah,
Many thanks for looking those up.
My next problem is which one emigrated to Australia in 1912?
Now, theres a tough one to work out.

Inchworm - you are looking for my Great-Grandfather, Frank Colver, who came to Australia in 1912.  He married Evelyn Stratton and they had three children:

Kathleen Mary
Frank Stratton
Edith Turner

I am Kathleen Mary's Grand-daughter.  Would you like more information?  I am new to rootschat, I am unsure about what information I should put down but let me know if you would like more.

Hello,
I am the grandson of Mabel Colver (Russon) and I was interested in the Australian connection since I am now an Australian/British dual citizen. I now live in Kibworth Harcourt with my Australian wife.

Look forward to hearing about the Aussie connection!
