We are trying to compile our family tree and my husbands grandmother was a Sarah Jane Colley from Staffordshire, born 1872. She moved to Hucknall in Nottinghamshire and married Benjamin Mills in November 1888. We do not appear to find out what her mother Eliza's maiden name was. If this is the same Sarah Colley in your family tree, and further information would be appreciated. If you are following the same line, would it be possible to review your family tree?
We have not yet started to compile all the information we are collecting.
Kind regards
Phyllis Mills
