Title: Children of Tobias Colbourn COMPLETED
Post by: anglessaxonsjutes on Friday 21 December 07 18:30 GMT (UK)

I'm Looking for possible children of TOBIAS COLBOURN b. 1857 in Stepney. By 1881 census, he was in Godmanchester, Hunts where he married Bertha R. King that year. They had 4 known children -- Mabel Helen, Florence Hilda, Arthur Percy and Ethel Mary.

TOBIAS died in 1893 (Free BMD) but 2 other children -- Frank William Colbourn b. 1897 and Edith Maud Colbourn  b. 1900 are listed in 1901 census probably living with their apparently widowed mother Bertha.

But who was their father? 
                                                                                                                                                                                    Any ideas on 1901 listings for these 2 'posthumous offspring' gratefully received. ??? ???

HI

As you thought these two children are indeed living with the Widowed 'mother'.


There is a 31 year old male Boarder in the household - likely candidate?

You could always splash out on one of the birth certs just to be sure.
