Hi Inchworm
When was Henry Colver born and where? I'll see if I can find him

Henry Colver was born 1815 Earl Shilton. He was the brother of Joseph. I don't know anything about him. Would like to find him on any Census, esp. the 1841.
I think that their parents were Richard & Sarah.

You're right, it is very confusing.
There seem to be more Colver families all with similar names, at the same time, in the same area. It's a job matching who belongs to who.
The 1851 family that you found looks like mine as prob. Richard, the father could have died - but still not sure.

Thanks for the info anyway, I'll try and work it out.

Dear Inchworm

I think that you are trying to track down my Colver family heritage.  I am related to Joseph Colver (wife Jane) through his son George (born 1850).  George had two wives and 10 children!  My Great-Grandfather is his fifth child, Frank, to his first wife Eliza.  I am in the process to find out what happened to Frank's siblings.  So far I have traced two of his brothers but their is the elder brother and his sister that I am having trouble getting to find.

Would you like more information?

Cheers, tomcatnik2

Hi
Just joined Rootschat. Colvers- still interested. I am the g/son of Ernest Colver(1892-1965), son of Ada E Colver, g/son of William(1835-1904)who was son of Joseph (1808-1887).Also Istill live in the area and am in touch with local history society. Glad to help if can

And I'm descended from Joseph's brother William (1811).  Their parents were Thomas and Mary, and I have a fair amount of detail on all of their Colver descendants, but have never managed to pin down Thomas's parents.

Contact me of you want any more info.

Cheers
