Sorry John,

Can't look up 1911 at the moment - the site is down for 'essential maintenance'

Will try later for you.

As Dea says the FMP site is down at the moment but I have taken a look at the other 1911 site to do a quick free look up and I cannot spot the couple on there. Do you know whether they had any children between 1901~1911?

The alternative site address is:

www.1911census.co.uk/search/tnaform.aspx

Correction: I have just spotted Clara, I will delve deeper and get back.

Researching:
Don't put off until tomorrow doing what you can do today. If you like doing it today you can do it again tomorrow. Be kind to your children for it is they who will decide which care home you end up in.

Jonesey and Choccy, I haven't gone past 1911 yet re children.
She is definitely Clara Rebecca Coe b.1868, have previously verified name and birth year, (see ref)

What made you think James was born in 1864?

There WAS a James born around that time, not too far away, but he is not the one who married Clara.

Which James is it that you are following?
