Title: Comins Family from Cheam
Post by: stpoint on Sunday 12 August 07 22:19 BST (UK)

Can anyone assist with the family of Thomas Richard Comins and Ethel Comins from Cheam in Surrey,   They lived there around the 1900's but I dont seem to be able to find them anywhere.   CWGC lists them as coming from that area but I fear they may have come from somewhere else but keep drawing blanks. Anyway heres hoping.

I found a few. Do you have any birthdates for either of them?

I believe that Thomas Richard Comins was born 1889 and registered at Wansworth...Ethel I'm not sure about she may even have come from Yorkshire, They had a son Thomas Edward he was born 1920/21 and died in 1941 ...sorry but that all I have at the moment..

Yes I found the death of their son.

Thomas E.

If I have found the right family then Ethel's maiden name may be Robinson as they have their mother-in-law in residence with them ;D

I have to go feed my cats. By the time I get back someone else will probably be helping as well.

Sorry to confuse. I meant Mary E's in the 1891 census - her maiden name may be Robinson.

I have also found the marriage registration for Thomas Comins and Ethel Biffen in 1917. If you don't have that info let me know.

Thanks for your help so far, I dont have any marriage details or residential details but I must have been on the right track because I had the RObinson link in there as well..so difficult getting information when your in Australia.

Looking in the old phonebooks....in 1925 there's a Thos R Comins listed at "Ednadene", West Hill Avenue, Epsom.
