My Great Great Grandad is Jabez Colver born cMay 1844. I believe his mother was Ann Colver born c1815 but i've not been able to trace her on census and in 1861 Jabez appears to be living with Uncles Jospeh and Henry in Hinckley .
I'd like to trace Ann Colver and her family - no trace of husband or marraige so far.
Parents understood to be Richard Colver born c1786 and Sarah born c1787
Richards parents Joseph no birth date, possibly married c1770
Understood to be from Earl Shilton
any help appreciated

Hi braddan,
Welcome to Rootschat. :)
I wonder if Ann Colver died? FreeBMD has this death registration:
Ann Colver JunQ 1851 Hinckley 15 53
Also on FreeBMD; possible birth registration for Jabez. Copy of the cert will show name of mother.
Jabez Colver JunQ 1844 Hinckley 15 71

Hi - my notes have Ann as the daughter of Richard and Sarah but the only source for this is Phil Cover, a contact I've made in my research. I have details on Richard's family going back a few generations which you can find here: http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=mactabby&id=I1394
I have also failed in the past to find any record of Ann in the census. The Colver name is the most frequently mis-spelled in all of my tree, and thus a pain for census research!
There's no burial record for Ann, but there are 4 other Ann Colvers who were infants in the area at the time who could also potentially match the BMD record and for whom I have no other details as to whether they survived, married etc.
If you did pull the certificate it would be great to have a confirmation of what's on it.
Thanks

Hi braddan,
Possible for Ann COLVER, age 20 in 1841, age rounded?, a Servant (down as male but looks like Ann to me) in Thurlaston, Leics;
HO107/603/14/Thurlaston
FreeBMD has a Marriage of a Ann COLVER, June 1847, M Bosworth, 15 231
Have you ruled this out?
Or is she someone else in your Tree?
Following Ann born c 1815, Leics and entering all the possible Spouses Surnames this came up.
