DC0001 SOURCE=FTREE# 86 Born in Hawnes,Beds., (also spelled Haynes, Bedfordshire), south of the city of Bedford. Les COLE (and his daughter Ann) say that some older COLES are buried in St Helen's churchyard, but I have not seen their gravestones there. Presumably the older COLEs buried there are Daniel COLE and his wife Emma COLE. /DC0001

DC0075 On 24 Oct, 1984, Irene JEZEK writes "At the census office, I found that Daniel COLE owned Chase Farm from 1851 (or before, not in 1841) up until 1881 Census (and possibly later). /DC0075

DC0069 I [David COLE b. 1944] have since looked Daniel COLE up on the 1881 census. I found Daniel, Emma and three of their sons, Alfred, Bertie and Edwin. All the sons were born in Barnet, Middlesex, and Emma's place of birth was Cotton End. The family was living at Chase Farm, South Mim[m]s, Middlesex. Daniel was a farmer of 250 acres employing 3 men. I also noted that the following persons were also residing at Chase farm at the time of the 1881 census: Eleanor GRAHAM age 54, b. Thurton Le Feuer, Lincoln, England Occupation: housekeeper Albert HART age 17, b. Halstead, Essex, England , Occupation: labourer Ellen HOWARD age 14, b. P Bar, Engand, Occupation: visitor /DC0069

DC0167 The following notes compiled concerning William Gutteridge BRIMLEY (1786-1867) mention Daniel COLE and his son James W. COLE. William left Huntingdon, Beds and went to work for a Mr. COLE [Daniel Cole(1820-1898)], a London business man who owned a farm [Chase farm] on the outskirts of Potters Bar. It seems more than a coincidence that the three of them went to live in the same district. Mr Daniel COLE had a son [James W. COLE (1851-1923)] who became a tenant farmer at Water End, Wheathampstead, Herts. The property belonged to the Earl COWPER of Panshanger Park. (Welwyn Garden City now stands on the site and Panshanger Hall has been demolished.) William was offered a job there and moved to Water End where he went to lodge with. . . Maria CHANDLER, who was born at Cromer Hyde near Lemsford, Herts on 5th September 1857. The next note (by source DC0075 which is the England census 1871) does cite an Emma BRIMLEY living with Daniel COLE and Emma (Nee COLES) in 1871. This adds much credibility to these notes by source DC0167. Refer to a subsequent note by DCole (Source DC0001) where John BRIMLEY is the grandfather of William Gutteridge BRIMLEY (1786-1867) is also the great-grandfather of Daniel COLE (1814-1898). They do not share a common grandmother because John BRIMLEY (1715-1780) had two wives. The two wives of John BRIMLEY make Joseph BRIMLEY (b. 1760) the step-brother of Sarah BRIMLEY (1763-1788). If it were not for the two wives, Emma BRIMLEY (b. c 1842) would be a true niece of Daniel COLE (1814-1898). /DC0167

DC0075 At the time of the 1871 England Census (source DC0007), Emma BRIMLEY was living with Daniel COLE and Emma COLE. The census entry was: Emma Brimley niece 30 Housekeeper b. Willington, Beds. The exact census reference code is unknown because it was not recorded by source DC0075 (B.Warren). For more information about the relationship between Emma BRIMLEY and Daniel COLE, see the following note by source DC0001 (DCole). /DC0075

DC0001 I was intrigued by the Emma BRIMLEY who was living with Daniel COLE during the England Census of 1871. So I searched for a "direct" "niece" (of Daniel COLE) named Emma BRIMLEY. Taking "niece" to mean "daughter of a sibling", no Emma BRIMLEY was found to be a niece of Daniel COLE. In fact, the closest "niece" of any kind that I could find was the daughter of William BRIMLEY (b. 1817). The relationship is shown below (where "=" means marriage): Ann HICKLEY = John BRIMLEY = Mary JONES Joseph BRIMLEY (b. 1760) (1715-1780) Sarah BRIMLEY (1763-1788) William G BRIMLEY (1786-1867) James COLE (1783-1851) William BRIMLEY (b. 1817) Daniel COLE (1814-1898) Emma BRIMLEY (b. c1842) Using English phraseology: "Daniel COLE's grandmother Sarah BRIMLEY was the step-sister of Emma BRIMLEY's great-grandfather Joseph BRIMLEY". The step-sister relationship occurs because John BRIMLEY (1715-1780) was married to Ann HICKLEY in 1760 when son Joseph was born. John BRIMLEY (1715-1780) was married to Mary JONES in 1763 when daughter Sarah BRIMLEY was born. /DC0001
