Goals for 2017

I often find myself with time to research, but at a loss as to what I should concentrate on.
I've therefore created a short list of what I want to try to find out over the coming year, some of which will no doubt feed into future posts. All of these are on my tree, the Coldron side, not on my husband's family. Perhaps I'll concentrate on them in 2018!
  1. George William Coldron b. 1882 d. 1937 - he was 54 when he died. How did he die? 
  2. George William Coldron had two children die in 1918-1919 - was there an epidemic, or were they just unlucky? What happened?
  3. George Coldron b. 1861 d. 1890 - he was only 29 when he died. I believe there is a newspaper article about this in the Stamford Mercury. Find the article and find out what happened.
  4. Harry Hill b. 1892 d. 1976 - what did he do during the war?
  5. Isabella Bassham - keep looking for anything about her
  6. Alfred Cobb - find out more about the Sherwood Foresters and his time in the Regiment.
  7. Alfred Cobb's son George died in infancy - what happened?
  8. Elizabeth Ulyatt's mother Mary - who was she, and was she born in Ireland or at sea? Or somewhere else? Who was Elizabeth's father?
  9. Richard Coldron was a POW in WW1, I'd love to find out more
  10. All the people in my tree who were of fighting age in WW1 and WW2 - did they fight? If not, what were they doing?
  11. Lucetta Coldron, Louisa Coldron, and their half brother Stephen Setchell all died within a year of one another as adults. Call me suspicious, but I wonder if they were connected?
  12. Joel Coldron was illegitimate - is there a bastardy record for him?
