William Coleman born 1810ish?

[Jarv]

Hello, I have traced my granddad's decendents back to William Coleman who lived in Long Clawson from at least the 1840's until the date he died. I know he was stated as being 30 in the 1841 census (and 42 in the 1851!) so I'm guessing 1810 as his birth year. He was born "outside the county but I don't know how to find out where. I think his father may have been called Edward. I'd be grateful for any info forthcoming.

Also where is the best place to look for death records? I am living outside the UK so can't physically get to the parish.

I have since found out that William Coleman was born in Grendon, Warks. Any info on his birth and if that is found father and mothers name would be appreciated!

Now I'm stuck. I have found a will extract mentioning William Coleman in 1845 who I belive to be my great, great, great, great grandfather. It is from here http://www.a2a.org.uk/search/doclist.asp?nb=0&nbKey=5&com=1&keyword=coleman&properties=0601
and as follows:

"FILE - Copy of Will - ref.  DE322/22/3  - date: Dated 13th July 1845; Proved 15th March 1849
           
[from Scope and Content] 1) All messuages, lands etc. in Hurloy in Parish of Kingsbury (Warw) to William Cooper (bailiff to late Wm. P. Inge esq of Thorpe, Co. Staffs) for his life, & after that to William Coleman (2nd son of William Coleman of Long Claws

[from Scope and Content] 5) All his real estate in Long Clawson, & all his personal estate to William Coleman (son of Edward Coleman of Long Clawson) but charged with payment of debts & legacies the annuity;

[from Scope and Content] 6) William Coleman appointed sole Executor;"

This is from 1845, in 1841 and 1851 there was only one William Coleman in Long Clawson but it states 2nd son of William and also "son of Edward". I initially thought that William referenced as 2nd son of William was my great, great, great grandfather but he was born in 1842 so a bit young to be mentioned in wills maybe? Especially when his Dad was around?

I need to know who the William Coleman and Edward Coleman were? Please help!

Did you make any progress with the family of William Coleman born Grendon? Your messages are some time ago now. He was born Jun 1808 in Grendon, the 3rd son of Edward and Catherine Coleman of Dordon near Grendon and died in Nov 1876. Perhaps you have photos of him or his family?
