Henry Frederick Coleman, came from Germany. His name was originally Kalnung
(Heinrich Kalnung ?). He served in the Merchant Navy and, on being
discharged, emigrated to England, settled down and raised a family. Not yet clear, is when he/we stopped being Kalnung and became Coleman. In 1887, on his marriage certificate, and In 1888, when John Henry was born, he was a baker. In 1891, when Dora was born, he was working as a Railway Porter In the 1901 Census he is listed as Park Keeper. Garry remembers that his Grandad was a gruff old teutonic B******, who played the zither and the accordian, and sang tenor. He remembers him working as a lavatory attendant at St. James Park in London ("Park keeper" !). Garry would visit him in his "hut", after school, and his Granddad gave him cups of tea, and sang and played his accordion. They lived in Victoria, London He didn't like (hated !) his son's wife, Florence Moore, ("that Jewess !"). When she died, he moved in with his son, in Lambeth. Henry Coleman has "handed down" his name to the next two generations (Son: John Henry, Grandson: Henry Hubert). |
