Henry & Margaret (Wynne) Colborne, Canada 1820-1860's ?

ColborneT — 2011-03-05 15:18:33Z

I am looking for Henry Colborne and Margaret Wynn(e) born in Wales or Ireland or Canada. Their son Albert was born in Montague, Lanark Canada on Dec 7, 1847. I can't find baptismal record of it or any other birth record for their children, only on their marriage records.
Possible children of Henry and Margaret are Margaret S. Colborne born 1841 or 1846 Montague, married James Briggs in 1864.
Sarah Ann Colborne born 1854 Canada, married Charles Briggs in Paisley, 1877.

Colbourne & Fletcher from UK

Maggie_Barron — 2008-09-30 02:59:58Z

I am helping a friend of mine with her family tree but I'm missing many dates and places and I'm looking for help or suggestions. She was born in 1979 and her parents are in thier sixties so that gives an idea of possible birthdates for her ancestors.

Her great-grandfather was Albert Edward Fletcher and he was from England. He married Florence Ida May Tansley.
Albert Edward Fletcher's parents were John Henry Fletcher and Catherine Colbourne. Catherine (Coulbourne) Fletcher was from/of Horsley Wood, Derbyshire, England.

This is all I have to go on and I can't find anything on the LDS website or Rootsweb to point me in the right direction.
Any info or suggestions?

I've got quite a bit on Bertha Winsor's family and Alfred's family back to about 1795 in Sturminster Newton.

Alfred is of Alfred J., who is of John and Hannah (Akerman), who is of John from Struminster.

I've got Bertha's family going back 4 more generations as I am descended from one of her father, Peter's, siblings.

COLBORNE'S from Germany

2001-11-19 02:43:07Z

I believe my gg grandmother Elizabeth LUSS's maiden name was COLBORNE and that she was originally from Germany (possibly Prussia). She was born Aug. 11, 1818 and came to the U.S. around 1867 as a widow with 4 children. Her husband Christopher or Christian LUSS died in Germany around 1860. When she came to the U.S. she settled in western NY near some other LUSS families. I would be interested in any information on COLBORNEs originating in Germany.

My wife's Grandfathers name was Russell Colborne. He maried Deloris Eckert in Maryland in the 1940s. We don't know to much about him or the family name because they were divorced shortly after my wife's mother was born. I don't know if this helps you.

Colborne Family (NS)

2000-08-10 17:14:13Z

My grandfathers name was Sherman D.Colborne. He was born and raised in Collingwood, Nova Scotia.(cumberland county, near springhill)
His Father was Garnet Colborne and his mother was Gladys Colborne(nee Hunter) I'm not sure of the family ancestry but Sherman did have Uncles or cousins in that area as well. One name that comes to mind is Carl Colborne (cousin). The family was in the logging industry.
Garnet's wife Gladys died when there youngest of nine was only 2 years of age. So that could have been in 1947 or so. He remarried but I don't know the name of the second wife aka battleax ( nickname given by my grandpa).

first message incorrect

2000-08-07 01:07:40Z

In the first message I left it says that my great granfathers name is John Colborne. I was mistaken his name was Russell Colborne.
Any information that will help me tace my family history, would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your time,
