Could this be them in 1841 ?

Name: Daniel Colley

Name Age
Daniel Colley 31
Ann Colley 28
Mary Colley 7
Daniel Colley 2
Sarah Colley 5

children's name are correct with father Daniel but mother is noted as Ann?

Aha, so the death of James Colley might also be the death of James Colley christened in Feb 1837.

Birth/Christening, 1825 - 1865, Kent, England, British Isles
Father: Daniel Colley, Mother: Penelope

so possible siblings:-
1. DANIEL RICHARD COLLEY - International Genealogical Index
Gender: Male Christening: About 24 FEB 1839 Saint Mary, Lewisham, Kent, England
2. SARAH ELIZA COLLEY - International Genealogical Index
Gender: Female Christening: 22 FEB 1835 Saint Mary, Lewisham, Kent, England
3. MARY ANN COLLEY - International Genealogical Index
Gender: Female Christening: 27 JAN 1833 Saint Mary, Lewisham, Kent, England
4. JAMES COLLEY - International Genealogical Index
Gender: Male Christening: 12 FEB 1837 Saint Mary, Lewisham, Kent, England
5. EMMA COLLEY - International Genealogical Index
Gender: Female Birth: 24 DEC 1841
6. EMMA COLLEY - International Genealogical Index
Gender: Female Christening: 16 JAN 1842 Saint Mary, Lewisham, Kent, England

This might possibly be the death of Daniel's father

Deaths Dec 1837 (>99%)

COLLEY James Lewisham 5 216

Yes, I agree definitely looks like 81.

I think it may be.......I have just found a marriage on IGI of Daniel Richard Colley and Penellar Mason 1832 Plumstead...........thankyou for the information

Found this on IGI

I don't know if this is your man.

Yes....think you're right.....81.

thank you for the information - very strange I still cannot find their marriage

Is it possible the Sarah Colley on the 1861 is Daniel Colley's and Ann Allen's mother??? Looks to me like the age should read 81 as her relationship to Ann Allen is down as mother.

What do you think Sue C, Minnie and Catherine - would you double check the age on the original.

Have you seen this 1861?

I have just ordered a birth certificate for Rachel Colley born 1853 Lewisham.......it has her parents as Daniel Colley and Penelope Mason.......however I cannot find a marriage between the two of them - there are several Daniel Colleys and Penelope Masons marrying in the london area but none that correspond to each other........I am also having trouble finding Daniel and Penelope on the census
