So this is the ref. for 1851:
1851 Census
COLBOURN, Rachel
CLUTTON, Somersetshire
HO107 piece 1939 folio 332 page 32


Alternative spelling of Colbourn here.

[anne fraser]

yes I have lots of different spellings for the name.

[ElizabethHerts]

Anne, her age on the 1851 census is 58, so she would have been born c. 1793 according to that.

[anne fraser]

Thanks. I am not sure where I got my age from. I can't understand why I can't find her death or remarriage. I have a likely death for husband Joseph in 1846 age 60. Her first child I have was Mary baptised in 1818 Englishcombe Bath

[ElizabethHerts]

Is this the death/burial for Joseph, Anne?

They seem to have baptised the children as a job lot. Sophia was my ancestor. She was born about 1822.

How about this death? Jan-Mar 1861 Cockburn, Rachel Clutton 5c 471.

Burial on FreeREG: St Luke, Priston, Somerset, 20 Jan 1861 Rachel Cockburn age 76, abode Paulton.

I know from a certain old advert that Cockburn is pronounced Coburn, but Soundex doesn't seem to know!

I used soundex, Kate, and didn't get that!

[kiterunner]

Exactly, Elizabeth. I only found it by searching for Co*b*rn* on ancestry.

[ElizabethHerts]

Perhaps using that logic I shall search for the marriage again!

[anne fraser]

thanks. I tried Soundex as well without any luck. I have seen lots of misspellings of Colborn but not that one. I don't suppose Joseph is there as well she said hopefully.

[kiterunner]

I thought you already had Joseph's death and burial?

[anne fraser]

yes I do but I am a bit suspiscious of that one as the age is about 10 years out from the 1841 census.

[kiterunner]

I can't see another death for Joseph, sorry.
