Richard & Elizabeth COULDERY - Greenwich & Deptford

[Chesvilla]

well done! That ties up with the IGI record as well. Do you have any other info on her parents - Richard and Elizabeth?

I just did a google search for Couldery and Greenwich and spotted this thread. I have a Susannah Couldery in my tree. born about 1832, her father was Richard Couldery a butcher. She appears at the Royal Hospital School in Greenwich on the 1841 census. She married James Larking in 1850 and then Charles Joseph Austin in 1859. I too found the Susannah mentioned above, but the dates seem  wrong. I also found the will of a William Couldery, also a butcher who died in Greenwich in 1844. His widow was Ann. If anyone has any info on Susannah or Richard I'd be really grateful.

Hi Chesvilla and Bumblemum. Although I started this thread, I seem to have lost track of it until today when I got an e-mail from RootsChat saying that the topic has been moved. Anyway, I was pleased to see your messages as I'm doing a sort of one-name study of Couldery and have collected a lot of information. I have info on many Coulderys from Greenwich and Lewisham. At first glance, I don't see a connection to the ones you've mentioned, but I'll have a closer look today and see if I can figure out how they fit in.

I'd be very interested in the will of William Couldery which you mentioned. I have a fair bit of info on the descendants of William and Ann (6 generations).

I'd be happy to share any of my Couldery info with you. And, if we put our heads together, maybe we can fit your Coulderys into my database. Send me a personal message if you're interested.

I have a Elizabeth Couldery in my tree, married to Thomas Larking. The marriage took place in Charlton, Kent in 1839. Elizabeth is down as of full age and a spinster. Her fathers name is Richard Couldery, a butcher. They had eight children.
In the 1841 census they are living in Greenwich and have a son Thomas 1yr old. Living with them is Frederick Couldery age 16. probably Elizabeths brother. They are all ticked born in County. In the 1851 census Frederick is a visitor at Blackheath Hill, Greenwich age 26 and a Butcher. In 1871 Frederick is married to Rosina and still in Blackheath Hill, although now he is the Head of family, there are no children. In 1851 Richard Couldery appears as a witness on the marriage certificate of Edward Larking, my g.g.grandfather.

How certain are you that the Frederick Couldery who married Rosina Job (14 Jun 1858 in Saint Dunstan, Stepney) is the same Frederick Couldery who was living with your Elizabeth Couldery and Thomas Larking in 1841? I could be wrong, but I have Frederick as the son of William Couldery and Ann, and in 1841 Frederick is living with them at Turnpin Lane, Greenwich, Kent (HO107 / 489 / 1  Folio 18, Page 30). So, it seems that the 1841 census has two Frederick Coulderys in Greenwich who are about the same age and born in the county. I'm not certain which one later married Rosina Job.
