    Hi, and a warm welcome to the forums!

    If you can post some first names and dates for members of your COLEBY family, and tell us what sort of information you're looking for, it will be easier for members to help you.

    I think you probably know that Lucy Lilian was with Wilfred in the 1901. I am not sure if the records for Stowmarket survive.
    Have you seen this site, there is a link that may give you information about the records.
    https://www.onehouse.org.uk/html/stow_lodge.html

    Lucy did not seem to marry and I think her death is registered in Wandsworth in 1952 aged 75.

    Do you have Wilfred's birth certificate? It may give more information.
    He may be the birth registered in Stow in 1899.

    Hi,

    Long time, no post, but just found this via Google...

    In my quest for information on the Colebys (my 3xGreat Grandfather, James King, married Mary Coleby), one of the people I came across was a guy called Joshua Coleby. He was the brother of Mary Coleby's father, Caleb Coleby, and he died in 1779 in Old Newton, Suffolk.

    Now, I'm not sure if you've come across Joshua Coleby before, but if you haven't, I've got a copy of his will and he names all of his brothers and sisters.

    Cheers,


    Nick

    Hi Nick

    I haven't come across Joshua or Caleb as yet but I wouldn't mind a copy or a list of the names mentioned to see if I can link anyone.

    Hi Jenny,

    Sure, no problem:

    The 'tree' that I've managed to compile thus far is as follows:

    Parents: William Coleby and Elizabeth (I *think*)

    Children:

    Elizabeth Coleby
    Joseph Coleby
    Joshua Coleby (m Sarah Johnson): Both died in Old Newton in Suffolk
    – 1779
    Samuel Coleby
    Caleb Coleby (m Sarah, then Hannah Burger) (Born/Died in Tivetshall St Margaret, Norfolk)
    1697 – 1790
    John Coleby (m Ann Wattridge) (son, John Coleby, born in Wrenningham, Norfolk m Sarah Hart)
    1700 –

    Caleb Coleby had two children with Sarah:

    Benjamin Coleby (1751-1819) m Mary Holmes (1736-1821) [lived - at various times - in Saxlingham and Hempnall, Norfolk]
    Mary Coleby (1740-1815) m James King (1740-1823) - these are my 4 x [not 3 as above post!] Great Grandparents [lived in Dickleburgh, Norfolk]

    And one child with Hannah Burger:

    Caleb Coleby (1747-1831) m Esther Holmes (1754-1826)

    All of the above were Quaker births/marriages/burials.

    There's a will for Joshua Coleby (very informative) and Caleb Coleby (which is where I gathered most of the information from) - available via the Norfolk Record Office. In addition, a number of the Colebys were Quakers, so there are quite a few records available via the Non-Conformist records (via a Pay-Per-View site, or the Norfolk Record Office).

    Anyway, hope this helps?

    Cheers,


    Nick
