Returning to Research - Cole Family Wiltshire

ProfilePosted byOptionsPost Date

Peter Report 18 Feb 2021 20:53

Hi
I'm returning to family research after a break of 10 years and I'm still at a 10 year brick wall.

I'm looking to expand my family back from William and Edith Cole nee Salter borm 1813 and 1814 respectively. William was from Kington Langley and Edith from Draycot Cerne, Wiltshire. They married in 1837 in Draycot Cerne.
I have details of their children from the census records but I would like to find anyone who might be related to this family or anyone who might have information, especially prior to their respective births, that can help me climb that brick wall.

Many thanks.

It is extremely unlikely that any family member would see your posts.

Have you looked to see if anyone has them in their trees.?

The marriage certificate would give you their fathers names if the marriage was late in the year.

During the 10 years you haven’t been doing any research there has been a huge increase in what is available on line.

There is an 1812 baptism for a William Cole in 1812, sone of Abraham and Sarah. Found this on Ancestry
