Hi Sandra
Although you appear to be researching Coleman's in Canada, I wondered whether you may have come across a William Coleman, Shoemaker, who married a Jane/June? Randle/Randell. I only know, definitely, of one of their children who was my great grandfather.
He was George Henry Coleman:
- b 1882 Leicester, Leicestershire, England
- m 1906 Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, to Jessie Margaret Christy
- d 1957 Boronia, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia
- ch George, Ethel, Winifred, Jessie, Beryl, Edward, Ronald
I don't know for sure the names of George Henry's siblings but another family member has said there may have been Rose, Alf, Ginny, Martha.
William's mother was present at the birth of George Henry and her name was Esther Coleman of Belgrave Road, Leicester.
Jane Randle may have been an alcoholic and died young.
I haven't yet found out when George Henry came to Australia, so don't know if he came alone as an adult and married later, or if he came as a child with family.
Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.
