My grandfather was James' eldest son but I know little about the other siblings. If anyone has info. on Annie Collishaw (1886 - 1940), Henry Collishaw (1888 - 1978), Arthur Collishaw (c1890 - 1957), Rebecca and Fanny Collishaw who,I believe, were twins born in 1893, Rose Collishaw (1895) and Charles Collishaw (1899) I would be very grateful to hear from you.
James was a policemen in Derbyshire and the later children were born in Cutthorpe. The earlier ones were born in Grassmore.

Welcome to the boards, Christopher. Suggest you remove your email address - not a good idea to post it on a public board where it will also be visible on Google in a short while. If people wish to contact you off the boards, they can do so by clicking on your name and sending you a PM(private message) through Genes.

Can you tell us what research you have done. Also, where did you get the names, birth and death dates from?

Hello Potty,
Much of my info. has come from Ancestry.com.
I have found the Kirkby Green family on the 1861 census where the surname is spelt "Coleyshaw" and on the 1871 census where it is spelt "Colleshaw"
I am continuing to hunt later censuses.
Yours,
Chris
