I have a Sarah Scroob who I believe was born in Coventry in 1855 and whose father was a William Scroob. I have no other information and would appreciate knowing more from the 1861 and 1871 census.
I also have a William Plummer born 1854 in Coventry whose Father John appears to have been born circa 1825. I would love more info on this family as well.
Thanks

Thanks Tricia,
Marvellous. This is great especially so as the family is living with the Grand Father on the wifes side. Lots of information!
What I would love to know now is where the Bright family were and who they were as described on the 1851 and 1841 census.
I am particularly delighted as my Mother had said that her Mothers family were an old Coventry family and that they had lived in and around Bailey Lane for a long time. Up until now I had only records tieing my GrandMother to Bailey Lane. In fact the last connection was in 1930 when my GrandMother was living at number 4 Bailey Lane, and here we have my Great Great Great Great Grand Father living at number 3 in 1861.
Thank you so much.

Thank you. This is great. I feel like I want to hop on the next flight to Gatwick and drive up to Coventry. But I guess I'm going to have to wait.
