1891/1901 Census - Oadby area
« on: Saturday 30 July 05 19:40 BST (UK) »
Hello,
Please could anyone help me to find Walter Colver b. 1866 Oadby ?
According to family legend he was a cricketer but how greater one I do not know.
Would like to find out more about him.

Many, many thanks,
Inchworm

Hello Sarah,
Yes, I did get yesterdays and I was very greatful. I did send you a reply yesterday. When I logged on just now it had disappeared, how rude!  >:(
It seems that most of the Colvers in Oadby connect to mine in some way. They all had large families. Am really interested in Walter. Past rellies always said what a great cricketer he was and played for Leicester County. It was prob. just them elaborating.
Regards,
Inchworm  :)

Thanks for the 1871.
 I hadn't got around to that. Where did the Walter Gladstone Colver come from. Never knew that he had a middle name.
Do you happen to have the census before that one?
This always gets more interesting by the minute.

inchworm there's another Walter Colver with another father William, but he's born in in Ravenstone, Leicestershire (1866)

I'm assuming I found the right one on the 1871 Census ??

 ;) ;)

Unfortunately I can't find the marriage of William Colver and Elizabeth ?, but have found what looks very much like Louisa's birth

Louisa COLVER born
1863 in Blaby
March Quarter 7a 38

You should contact the Leicester Register Office for a copy of this but only if the father's name is William

Happy hunting
