Find Ancestors

I am trying to find a birth record for this elusive lady. Supposedly born in 1880 (or 1882) in Holborn London. I cannot find any record of her birth. Also nothing in the 1881 census., She shows up in the 1891 census as being at a boarding school in Lower Bullingham Herefordshire and is aged 11. Nothing in the 1901 census and then shows up as Violet Colman in the 1911 census with husband Charles Colman and three children.
Violet was supposedly married in 1899 to Charles Colman but can also find no record of this at all anywhere.
Would anyone have any ideas as to where I could look. I would appreciate any help very much.

it looks like its a Catholic home because the listings startt with nuns names

ie Sisters of Mercy

EDIT sorry I see you have this already. I missed it .

not seeing a birth for her

A tree on Ancestry gives her as

Violet Catherine Costello
Birth 15 Dec 1879 in Bloomsbury, London, England

Parents Charles Costello & Mary Ann


but doesn't substantiate the birth, and I can't find one on FreeBMD.

No further information given on either parent.

Thanks Vera - that rules that one out at least.

I think the 3 females on 1930 Electoral Roll were the 3 daughters.
Violet Catherine Coleman born 1905.
Mary Ann
Margaret.

Interesting though 1911 Charles signed as COLMAN.

Charles David Colman baptised 22/3/1876
St Marylebone by Robert John Colman and Emma Colman.

Can't seem to find deaths for Violet or Charles!!

Chris :)

Thank you all for your help with this. I am still processing all the answers. Chris the Elizabeth Maud Colman is the eldest daughter of Violet Colman (nee Costello) and that has given me the occupation of Charles which is an electrical engineer. Still not got her birth. I would be grateful for any suggestions. Many thanks again you are all fantastic.

Hi Maureen,
If you could find out where the records for the Poor Clares Convent in Lower Bullingham, Herefordshire, (where Violet Costello was in 1891) are kept. Have anyone else got any ideas where they could be kept.

Regards Vera

googling Poor Clares brought up this:

fee-paying, boarding school run by the Poor Clares at Bullingham, Herefordshire. They had set up the school in 1880 to provide education for girls aged 7 - 16 and for boys aged 7 - 11.
