Colliss family Warwickshire

[seuro]

I'm tracing Colliss family Samuel b 1799 Warwickshire, m Catherine Bloomer, children Joseph (transported to Australia 1842 for stealing shoes, my descendant), Emma b 1828, Hannah b 1832, Alfred b 1836. Alfred (gold engraver married Ann ? milliner, lived Southwark 1861. Would like to go further back if possible, and know what happened to Joseph's siblings, if any came to Australia?

Hi Rebecca

Looks like Alfred may have remarried...

COLLISS

There is no surviving 1890 Census for the USA... not seeing them on the 1900 Census as yet.

FreeBMD shows this marriage..

Of course to be absolutely sure you should purchase this marriage certificate to confirm father's name for Alfred.

Hi Karenlee

The entry for Mary Ann on F/S Pilot is a bit confusing but as she appears in 1851 Census I think it has been mistranscribed and marriage info confirms DOB .
Christened 16 Aug 1820
Birth 30 May 1830
