This section of the website allows you to explore the people of Coleshill and their interrelationships.
Use the links in the menu on the left to browse each of the eight national censuses of Coleshill.
The first column of each of the census tables shows a household number (eg H27). These can be used to cross reference individuals in the Genealogy sections. The two right-hand most columns show the maiden names and marriage dates of married women where these are known. This information is not taken directly from the census.
The Genealogy Link takes you to the database of Coleshill residents derived mainly from the census material.
The Ancestry Chart is a powerful evocation of the relationships between the families of Coleshill. Only individuals with at least one family link are shown. Each family is represented by a yellow oval. Each pair of parents is indicated by arrows pointing into an oval and their children are represented by arrows pointing away from the oval.
To view the Ancestry Chart, Adobe Acrobat Reader must be installed on your computer. You can use Acrobat's search feature to locate individuals in the chart. Also, you can click over any pink or blue box to display that individual's page in the genealogy database.
The genealogical information on this site is regularly updated as new information becomes available.

Coleshill History
This part of the website displays material, most of which was collected as part of the Coleshill History Project. The project was completed at the end of 2009 and culminated with the publication of the book, A History of Coleshill. In early 2010, the new Coleshill History Group was formed to augment the work of the project and to maintain and enhance this section of the village website.

Objects of the Week
During the Covid pandemic of 2020/21, History Group meetings were suspended. So, to keep our historical brains ticking over, we instituted an 'Object of the Week' programme. Members of the group were invited to submit interesting objects in their possession with pictures and a brief description. Sometimes, an anecdote about the object would be included. These were then sent round to members on our email mailing list.
This section of the website records the eclectic series of items that the programme produced.
The program ran from July 2020 to September 2021 with a total of 59 items being submitted.
A selection of the objects were displayed at Horticultural Society Show in September 2021. See the image on the right.
For reasons of privacy, names of individual submitters have been omitted.
