Birth of Samuel Cole in FreeBMD in January-March 1885 in Alton (2c 171).
His father died in 1890.
In the 1891 census as Samuel Cole aged 6, born in Chere, Surrey and living with Edgar and George Cole who were also born in Chere (and I assume his brothers) and 28 other boys at a branch of the Southwark Boys Orphanage, St Lawrence, Ramsgate, Kent run by George and Mary Greenway. His mother was living with her widowed father and her son John in London.
In the 1901 census as Sam Cole aged 19 in the index, 17 on the original, born in Frensham, Surrey, employed as a bricklayer's labourer, and boarding together with his two brothers (George and John) with his step-father (Abraham Shrubb), mother (Mary J), step-sister (Kate Shrubb) and half-sister (Beatrice Shrubb) in Shortheath, Wrecclesham, Frensham, Surrey. However I can find no registration of marriage for his mother to Abraham Shrubb.
There is an entry in Ancestry Public Member Trees for Samuel Cole born in 1882 in Frensham, Surrey, parents Frederick James Cole and Mary Jane Store.
Samuel Cole was the son of Mary Jane Store, wife of Abraham Shrubb, my second cousin twice removed.
