Coleman 4 Source Citation: Class: RG11; Piece: 4968; Folio: 40; Page: 26; GSU roll: 1342195 1891 Name: Mary Coleman Age: 8 Estimated birth year: abt 1883 Gender: Female Where born: Sunderland, Durham, England Civil parish: Sunderland Ecclesiastical parish: St Johns County/Island: Durham Country: England Street Address: Occupation: Condition as to marriage: Education: Employment status: View image Registration district: Sunderland Sub-registration district: Sunderland ED, institution, or vessel: 6 Neighbors: View others on page Household Members: Name Age Jane Coleman 43 Jane A Coleman 13 Mary Coleman 8 Source Citation: Class: RG12; Piece: 4144; Folio 21; Page 41; GSU roll: 6099254 So looks like the birth that Mary has found is the correct one.
