Hello Pat
Thank you for your reply. I know you've helped me in the past and have done so again. I'll certainly follow up Family Search and Richard Coles.
The children of Arthur and Betty Coles that I've found are; Richard & Thomas both bap on 29 May 1769, Anstance bap 22 Jan 1770, a son bap 19 April 1772, John bap 6 Nov 1774, Jane bap 15 June 1777, James bap 13 Feb 1780. All in Worle. I'm directly related to James Coles.
As you discovered Betty Millard's parents were Joseph & Anstance Prenter & she was bap 21 Aug 1742. I know that I could follow this line back further but want to stick with the Coles trail for now.
Many thanks
Anne
Hello Debbie
Thank you for your reply to my query. I don't think there is a direct link between your Coles & mine but expect there is some connection somewhere! I haven't found a Josias but do have a John bap 6 Nov 1774 in Worle, but haven't found a wife. He was buried 7 June 1845 also in Worle.
Many thanks Anne
Hi Pat thank you for replying to my email. The information you have provided has helped me resolve the puzzle of what became of my great, great, great grandfather Norcot and his wife Elizabeth.
Thanks again

I also have a COLES line. Josias COLES lived in Worle and gave his place of birth as Rowberrow. However I think I have found his baptism in Lympsham in 1793 the son of John and Jane COLES. A John COLES married Jane HALL in Lympsham in 1775 and there are 11 children baptised between 1776 and 1794. There is also a possible burial for John COLES aged 73 in 1822. Lympsham is only a short distance from Brent Knoll so maybe there is a connection with the Arthur that Pat found.
There is an Anna Maria HURST who arrived in Australia from London in 1869 aged 20. I think this could be her but have found no trace of her marriage or death there so far.
Joseph and Hannah were in Newport in 1841. A son Thomas drowned aged 7 in Nailsea in 1846. His death was registered nearly a year later around the same time as his brother's (also Thomas) birth was registered in Nailsea. Unfortunately there appear to be no newspaper reports of the drowning or inquest. Joseph Snr and Thomas II died of spasmodic cholera in September & October 1849. There is no evidence of where Hannah was between 1847 in Nailsea and 1851 in the Workhouse so perhaps Anna Maria was born elsewhere.
Although Anna Maria is the real mystery in this branch I would love to find out more about them all because Joseph born in 1839 was my 2x great grandfather.
