    Default Coles Family

    My Grandmother Lucy Ellen Coles born 1886, in Silverton, worked as a domestic servant for a family which I presumed would have been in Silverton. I am trying to find out where and who she worked for, but can find no record of her in the 1911 census. 1901 census showed her still at home.
    Her father was Harry Coles
    Her mother Ellen Elizabeth Coles,. She married Harry Albert Ball in 1911.
    Can anybody help?

    Try searching for her in 1911 again as Ellen COLES born 1887 - District Tiverton.

    Default Coles Family

    According to the 1911 census Lucy Ellen Coles was a boarder with a John Jessy Manley and Emma Manley and working at the paper mills, does anyone know anything about these mills and I am presuming this is at Silverton and not the Stoke Cannon paper mills. The original transcript shows no more information, disappointing.

    Hi ValH

    You may already know this but Silverton has its own History Society they can be contacted via their web site http://www.silvertonlocalhistory.co.uk/slhs.html
