Hello Diane,
One of the best ways to make sure you are tracing the "right" family is to
document your way to the past. This way your sure and have "proof".
I first obtained my grandfathers SS-5 application from Social Security, old
age pension plan, for those of you not in the USA. After finding he listed
his country of birth as England, I sent away for his birth certificate from
England. This document contained his parents names including the surname of
his mother, and his place of birth and the address of the parents.
Our family "story" was that my grandfather was from Coventry, this turned
out to be untrue, as his birth certificate showed his was born in Devonport,
Devon.
The place I used for obtaining his birth certificate was A&H Associates in
England. I order directly from their web site.

This is not an endorsement for them as their are many others to chose from.
However, I found their service prompt and reasonable in price.
Hope this helps get you the proof you need for Thomas Bennett and Grace
Coad.
Cheers,
Ed Coad
Hi there
My g grandmother was a Coad - Grace Coad, who married Thomas Bennett (both
born c. 1864).
I've only just started researching the Coad name, but I believe she was the
daughter of Edumund Coad (b c. 1831 in Fowey, Cornwall) and Elizabeth (b c.
1834 in St Day - which I understand is part of Redruth, Cornwall).
Edmund and Elizabeth (according to an 1881 census entry) had four children:
Anthony, Grace, Rosina and Frederick. Anthony and Grace were born in St
Day. Rosina and Frederick were born in Bacup, Lancashire. I've yet to
verify that this IS the right family - but certainly the names and locations
seem to match up with information gleaned via my dad's memory!
Thomas Bennett was also originally from Cornwall.
Happy hunting!
Diane Bennett

Hi Barbara,
It's funny you should mention Elizabeth COAD, just yesterday I was searching
IGI on LDS familysearch.org for the marriage of my Elizabeth chr. 30 Mar
1881, do Samuel Coad & Mary Taylor.
I'm sure our other "Listers" would be most interested in your Elizabeth and
Thomas COAD. Anyone out there with a connection or info?
I wonder if they were cousins?

To Beverly Baird,
I found just a couple of items for a Robert COAD or Robert CODE.
Robert COAD purchased two lots in Illinois, 13 October 1848, one lot of 4200
acres for $100.00, and another lot of 2760 acres for $63.00.
Ref. Illinois Public Land Purchase Records, Volume 819, Page 226.
It would be helpful if you could find the death records or a will for your
Robert COAD or CODE. He may have a will filed in the Massac County, IL
records (provided he died in Massac County).
Are there any other family members researching your Robert COAD?
I also found a Robert CODE, that enlisted in the Union Army 17, Aug 1864
from Liberty County, IL. He was assigned to "H Company, 29th Illinois
Infantry.", as a private. His mother, Margaret CODE, applied for a Civil War
Survivors Pension on 8 July 1865. Application #101,213 Certificate# 64,350

We have in our travels come across your CODE-COODE family from Menheniot,
but we have not put together your clan in a gedcom as of this date.
If you could be so kind as to send our study your COODE gedcom, it would be
greatly appreciate and make our job easier.

Just surfing the net. My maiden name is COODE and have quite a bit of info on Sir John Coode who was knighted and thus is in Burkes. Have corresponded with Alan Coode and Richard Bolitho in Canada. Are you working with them?
There is a Coode/Fall connection in BC also.
Have back to John Coode, the elder who died in Menheniot, Cornwall in 1603. His son John Code married Blanche and was buried in Menheniot in 1598. Haven't been able to get this line back further.
I know there are two Coode lines in Cornwall. Each pronounces it differently.
What info do you have?
The Drake Exploration Society
The Drake Exploration Society founded on 9 November 1996 at the Golden Hind
Chair in the Bodleian Library Oxford, England. The Society was founded by
Michael Turner a secondary school supply teacher of PE and humanities.
Since 1980, Michael has documented pictorially, the life and voyages of Sir
Francis. Uniquely, Michael began to visually project Drake's world. Two of
his illustrated lectures include addressing Britain's largest lecturing
body, The Ashridge Circle and The Royal Geographical Society.
Susan Jackson: is a secondary school history teacher, who has always
specialised in Tudor England. Her life dedication to Sir Francis is
manifested by her years of Drake research in England's archives throughout
her school holidays. Susan is a true historian and her knowledge of Drake's
domestic life, forms the bed rock of Drake's movements in England. This has
been substantiated by her extensive field work and unique discoveries. Susan
has been invaluable in editing Michael's chapters of Drake in England and
The Spanish Armada. Susan has a much needed in-depth knowledge of Drake the
man. This was vented during her supporting appearance on, In Drake's Wake
and will be the Society's stance when Drake's character is publicly
scrutinised. The Society is fortunate to have such a committed,
single-minded and uniquely qualified Drakeologist, who is our resident
historian.
The Issue of the Drake's Descendants
Extensive research has been conducted by society member Susan Jackson on
Drake's family tree. Therefore, we are prepared to assist the serious
researcher in this area. However, we wish to emphasise our opposition to
those claiming to be descended from Sir Francis Drake. Our view is based
upon the following facts.
It is impossible for anybody to be descended from Sir Francis Drake.
Although he was married twice, he did not produce any children. Furthermore,
there is no evidence whatsoever, of any illegitimate issue.
Descent from his brother Thomas could be possible but highly remote. Thomas
only fathered two children and the direct male line died out in the 18th
century. There are indirect descendants of Thomas via the female line; in
England, America and Switzerland. However, the relationship is very distant
and tenuous.
Descent from a cousin is not possible. Sir Francis only had two paternal
cousins, being John and Robert Drake: both of whom died without issue. The
word cousin or kin were very loose terms in Elizabethan England and covered
a multitude of relationships. Some of these were very distant.
We are not overtly interested in descent from a 16th century Drake, unless a
direct relationship can be proved. A descendant, even from a 16th century
Tavistock Drake, does not prove an ancestral link to Sir Francis. Therefore,
unless substantial contrary evidence emerges, we regret that the direct line
of the Drake's of Crowndale died out in the 18th century.

What a tantalising little snippet - please give us more.
Perhaps some of us are related to the great Sir Francis too.

I have little knowledge of my Coad ancestry ( we have lived here in New
Zealand for at least 3 or four generations ) but my great grand father and
his brother went to england in 1937 to try and prove that we were direct
decendants of sir Francis Drake ,they were partially successful but were
unable to claim the huge inhertance for some reason.
To All Coad Surname Listers:
I have been collecting COAD family data since 1998.
My cousins, Nigel COAD of Warwickshire, England and Keith ABEL of Kinston, Ontario, Canada and I have been conducting an informal One Name Study (ONS) of the COAD surname.
We will gladly help those who need it, and all COAD surname inqueries are welcome.
