Joseph Colenutt (Colenett, Colnutt & a few other variations) was born Sep Q 1849 in Niton, son of Abraham Colenutt and Ann Wells.
I have them in 1851,61,71, 91 always in Niton, IOW, and both men were carpenters.
Where was he hiding in 1881?
Hardly likely to be on a world cruise, but definitely not easily found. As Abraham and Ann are missing in 1881 too, where ever they were they were probably somewhere together!
Any ideas? I have checked various spellings and places, but the best I can come up with is on Guernsey and that's certainly not this family.
