Title: G Cole
Post by: Valslater on Thursday 09 February 06 12:26 GMT (UK)
My Great Grandfather in 1881 states he is from G Cole, Lancashire.  Does anyone know where that would of been in Lancashire? eg what is the place called now?

Regards
Valerie

Hi Valerie

Have you found him on other censuses?

It might be easier to work out if you have them to compare.

What was his name & other details & perhaps we can find him, if that would help?

kind regards, Arranroots  ;)

Hi Val,

Not any immediate help but I see he's the very only one with this birthplace in the whole census ... by 1891 he says Blackrod.

In 1871, if he's the right chap (living in Blackrod), he's down as born Wigan.

Hi Tanja,

Thanks for the info - tis funny that they change the names of where they were born, doesnt make it real easy for us now!  Tis definately my family.  Do you know if there were any other  Winnards living nearby?

Plenty of Winnard's in Wigan I'm afraid (at least in 1851)  :-\
