Find Ancestors

This is confusing, I'll try to maintain some "semblence of order" here.
My g.g.g/parents were Herbert and Sarah Ann Cole (nee Huish)
Herbert was born in Ombersley Worcester - christened 25/3/1840
Sarah Ann Huish in born Deviezes Wiltshire
They married 14/4/1861 in Kidderminster Worcester
Their son Henry married Jane Thomas around 1887 +/- 2yrs in Kidderminster.
Just to add to the mix
Jane was born 1863 in Madely Shropshire
Daughter of Thomas (born in Madely) and Mary Thomas (don't know maiden name but born in Oapengate Shropshire)
Henry and Jane emmigrated to Australia and eventyally settled in Werris Creek NSW where my grandmother Sara Jane was born in 1889
Its difficult doing research from this distance so hope some of you English COLE families may recognise a connection.
Many thanks ......

Julie and Christine
Thank you both very much for the Cole information you were kind enough to share with me.
Being fairly new to this geneology thing, it's a bit of a daunting task trying to find family info prior Henry and Jane travelling to Aust. Their daughter Sarah was my paternal Grandmother - she was an only child, I believe a twin died at birth, but thats another search again, whether it be fact or otherwise remains to be seen.
Thanks again
Shirley

Birth.....if there was a twin its birth (& death) was not registered..
Reg. Number .. 22259/1889
Name .. COLE SARAH J
Father .. HENRY
Mother .. JANE
District .. QUIRINDI (about 20ks south of Werris Creek)

Who did Sarah marry ?

Hi Julie, this is where it gets a bit tricky. Nana Patto - Sarah was my paternal grandmother.
She was married to a Percival Herbert Ayton approx 1908, then again to my grandfather approx 1915. but that is doubtful as family goss. has it Percival did a runner and couldn't be found for divorce purposes, so Nan and Pop (Harold Henry Pattison) did the unthinkable and unmentionable and "lived in sin", manufacturing "wedding dates" etc.
I had quite a problem finding my father's birth cert. He was the oldest of their children - Allan Henry Pattison - but his b/cert had family name as Ayrton and Pattison was listed as one of his Christain names.
He changed it in mid sixties. His family is full of little mysteries like this - I asked Mum and Dad (both deceased now) about them, but as per the standards of their age group, skeletons were kept where they belonged - in the cupboard.
I love a good mystery so I am poking around gleaning information here and there hopefully to put it all together
Cheers ... Shirley

However I can NOT check South Australia, so he either moved there, moved overseas or died..
