Hello
I'm stuck!
I'm trying to find a connection with Ronald COLMAN 1920'S actor... The family story goes that he is a cousin of my nan and siblings... Their mother was LAURA ANNIE COLMAN born 1869 in Kensington and died 3rd April 1930 Willesden...
I just don't know where or what to do to find the connection... PLEASE help me!

Here are details from Wikipedia on him
he was born in Richmond Surrey son of Charles and Marjory Read Frazer Colman..siblings were,
Eric, Edith and Marjorie.
You need to find a connection to Charles or Marjorey to make him a cousin to your nan..

Your Laura Annie's name was spelt with an E..........Coleman

I dont think Ronalds father can be your Charles Colman 1883 as Ronald was born 9th Feb 1891,,Ronald Charles Colman.Unless Lauras father had a brother Charles?
Plus as pointed out the spelling of Coleman for Ronald is no E.

Although when she married the E wasn't there

Eli Coleman was born ca 1840 in Taunton, Somerset, according to the censuses posted above
His wife Eliza was born ca 1842 in Taunton, Somerset
Cehcking on the 1891 Census, Charles Colman (father of Ronald) was born ca 1855 in Turnham Green, Middlesex
His wife Marjorie was born ca 1855 in Singapore, East India
so the connection, if any, does not seem to be at that level either.
