I can then trace that forwards to me. With the Coleburns slowly changing their name over time to Colbourne which moved to Yoxall. There are still Coleburns and Colbournes in Radbourne but not sure where they came from before Radbpurne..Any ideas. Also been trying to source Brenda's book but to no avail....any ideas. Thanks

Just type in the search engine there for the most extensive one called 'Colbourne Family History English Ancestry 1300-1900" It begins with William Colbourne born in Warwickshire in 1305 . Two books published and one more to come but this would be of interest to most people as it is very extensive and covers many counties in England. Published by Denis Colbourne, my cousin.

Greetings. Thank you for your reply. I would love to connect with Brenda. If you could forward my contact information to her, I would greatly appreciate it. I would also enjoy remaining in contact with you, as well.

Best wishes from a very cold Denver.

At 12:08pm on February 1, 2010, Christine Colbourne said…: Judith - I have been looking up Edward in the book "COLBOURNE, COLBORNE Ancestry through the centuries" which was compiled by one of our members, Brenda Sherwood, There are a few references - sailed to America in 1635 age 17 - marriage in 1640, death in 1712. The book lists other Edwards born around the year 1618 but I think you need to talk to Brenda who did all the research and hear what her thoughts are. I have alerted her to your enquiry so am hoping she gets in touch soon. Brenda has published two books (large) full of records of Colbournes of various spellings. She is a cousin of mine and we are descended from the Lacock in Wiltshire Colbournes. They were cloth merchants back in the 1500s but as far as I know none of them emigrated. I,m sure Brnda would be very interested in any gaps you can fill!

At 1:30pm on January 31, 2010, Judith Anderson said…: Christine, thank you so much for your very fast response! I don't know if I can be of any assistance to you regarding the Colborne/Colburn history, but I am more than happy to provide any information subsequent to Edward's arrival in the New World that anyone may desire. I have worked on the genealogy for over 30 years and have collected some interesting items; I have also been able to travel to the different locales of this ancestral line. One interesting item that I have is an actual piece of a timber from a garrison that Edward built in Dracut,MA.

My challenge over all of these years has been Edward's point of origin. I have scoured Visitations for the area and have not been successful. Even if I travel to the UK, I am not sure I would find what I am searching for. Christine, thank you, again, for your very kind response and please let me know if I can share anything with you, as well.
Best regards from a grateful cousin.

I have set up a Group for Wiltshire Ancestors - would you add a link to it on your COLBOURNE group and I will do likewise to the new group.
