COLMAN, George FrederickMy Great Grandfather: George Frederick Colman, DOB: 1854, Manchester. He held the position of General Manager/Secretary for the Railway in Southport, Great London North West Railways?? He resided at 15 Huntingdon Street, Southport and also at 2 Fleetwood Street, Southport. He had 3 x children: May Colman, DOB: 1879/80 George Frederick Colman - Jnr - DOB: 23 05/1881 John Joseph Colman. DOB: 7/11/1885: John is my Grandfather. He, George F. Colman, retired in Southport in 1895/6?, and went to 1895/6? to Rio de Janiero, South America to help manage building the new railway line. His wife Mary Burke died on 23 May 1881 at the 2 Fleetwood Street, Southport address. Apparently George came back to Manchester area after the South America job. I can not trace him or other family in the UK. All I know is this about my Grandfather: John Joseph. - He went to South Africa around 1910/15 He changed his names to John Gerome Algernon/Algin and put an E in our surname Coleman. maybe a spelling mistake? He married a Irish lady - Elizabeth Anne Leonard in Johannesburg, South Africa, and My farther Brian Norman was born. I never knew both my Grandparents as they died before I was born. Both my parents were murdered in 1963 in Swaziland. I was then 5 years old, and adopted by my mothers sister in South Africa. Thus, my problem is I do not have family to ask them information about my ancestors. Can you please help to trace any of my old and current family? Me and my family came back to the UK in 2000. We live on Mersea Island, Colchester, Essex. Phone: 01206-381578. I do not have funds to pay for the Family tree search as advertised by some companies. Chris ColmanANY
