Looking for Coltman from Yorkshire
hi I am trying to find out a bit more information on my grandfather. His name was John Thomas Coltman 1885 to 1970 married Emily Rennison 1886 to 1914 married 1906.
They had my mother Dorothy Emily born 12Mar1914 and a few sons I think John Thomas, Albert Ernest and Arthur ?
Now the story goes that my mothers mother (Emily rennison) died about 6 weeks after giving birth..
what I am interested in is that John Thomas Coltman re married after that to who knows and maybe had other children...
now my mother Dorothy Emily Gibson was writing to someone in England named Connie ...MY main aim is to find out who this Connie is ...a stepmother or stepsister to my mother???/
I would love to know if anyone can help so as to maybe communicate with this person or relatives in the future.
also to correct my family tree as I think I have a few thing wrong....
thanks
Dave Gibson
