Collett Lookup
« on: Thursday 06 November 08 07:16 GMT (UK) »
I am stuck on this person

Young Collett
born 29 June 1837
Toft, Cambridge, England.

All i know is that his fathers name is Henry. and that Young Collett was in South Australia by 1862 when he married a Martha Marshall.

Can anyone check 1851 and/or 1841 census for me thankyou.

If you check the Cambs FHS website at http://www.cfhs.org.uk/Search.html you'll find his baptism which includes his mother's christian name, and there are also census indexes. Just put in col and toft. By way of warning, in 1851 Young has been mistranscribed as Henry, age 14 - all were born in Toft except Elizabeth the mother who was born in Hardwick, Cambs.

His baptism, not birth, is also on the IGI, extracted so reliable, also naming his mother. The marriage of Henry and Elizabeth is on the IGI at Hardwick.

Check the IGI at www.familysearch.org for the marriage of Young's parents at Hardwick in 1834. Newman
