Hi MrWithy,
Thank you for taking the trouble to add your Cole details. I have been spending part of a dreary afternoon looking for Coles born in Hanbury in early census returns and came across your George the Carpenter. There was a family, Joseph & Hannah, also a carpenter, in Hanbury in 1851, too, surely there was some connection? Both families were there in 1841. Where my John who was a Blacksmith then a Grocer fits in I can't see yet.
The hunt is on, I think!
Phoebe
