Find Living Relatives

Patch an
I have tried to find the Mark Ward tree with both Andrew Coman ( my partners birth name and his year of birth) and Margaret Poole but can't find it ????

You could get the death certificate of Thomas to see who the informant was - may be a relative.

I'm so sorry for not replying but I hadn't realised people would look at my search and help, I'm still trying to make sense of this. My partners is Thomas's son with Margaret Poole he has a full birth brother Ray whom I am now in contact with but I've hit a brick wall as too where Thomas went after his split from Margaret till his death. If I've read your help correctly then Thomas had two children with Una which would make them half siblings is this correct? Thanks for your help x

Una's mother, Lydia died in 1963- Una had already separated from Thomas:

England & Wales, National Probate Calendar

BUTLER, Lydia Ann of 36 Trinity Ave, Marlow, Bucks widow, died 26 February 1963 Administration Oxford 8 April to Una Maud Keen married woman.

------------------------------------------------
Una married Eric F Keen in 1961 (Under surname Goman)- she died in 2009

Name: MS Una Maud Keen
Gender: Female
Age: 79
Birth Date: 22 Aug 1930
Death Date: 1 Jan 2009

---------------------------------------

I believe the children (of Thomas and Una) also took on the Keen Surname.

Teresa married 1977- her son is on Facebook.

Sorry it's a bit cryptic, but I have to be careful as these people are still living. If you need me to explain further please message me.

ARMY LIFE WITH FAMILY 'NOT EASY'

Life in England for a married Corporal with three children was not easy, and it was this which started the Corporal borrowing money from soldier trainees in his charge a Catterick court martial was told yesterday.

Corporal Thomas Edmund Coman (31) of the 16/5 Queens Own Lancers attached to 65 Training Regiment, The Rotal Signals, pleaded guilty to seven charges of improperly borrowing sums of money totalling £10 from seven troopers...

In mitigation it was said the Corporal Coman after being abroad found that life in England with a wife and three children to support was not easy. He many times found himself short of money and that was when he began to borrow.
----------------------------------------

One of the children was Stephen Michael (1950- Mother Una), another possible child Teresa A (1952)

In 1951 Una and baby Stephen were travelling from Libya to England. UK address was 28 Trinity Ave, Marlow, Bucks. (This was where Una's mother, Lydia was living)

Any relevance?

The Mark who made that posting no longer belongs to genes, or his account has changed,

However, there are 2 accounts for a Mark Ward who has Andrew Coman, 1961, Aylesbury in his tree(s) on here.

He also has Margaret Poole, 1930, Leighton Buzzard, as do several others.

Welcome to genesreunited, Nigel.

You have Edmund Coman born 1923 in your tree - did he use both Thomas and Edmund?

You also have Thomas Coman born 1961 - I cannot see a birth for this man, do you know where, or could the birth year be wrong?

Or is he Andrew T Coman, 1961, mmn Poole?

In the 1911 Irish census:

http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/reels/nai003296090/

John Coman, 23, servant,
Edward Coman, 21, farm labourer,
and John Coman, 45, farm labourer, in a large household in County Tipperary..

A bit speculative.

Living in Knutsford in 1939 are Thomas E Coman, 1923, John P Coman, 1887, and Ann Coman, 1898.

Ann's death?
Deaths June quarter 1974
COMAN ANN 26MY1898 MACCLESFLD 35 605

Probate records gives her living at 5 Cranford Avenue, admin.

Well done for working that one out Margaret.

Hi Nigel and welcome to GR.

A copy of Thomas Edmund Coman's birth certificate will tell you who his parents
were.

An Irish connection perhaps?
