hi
im trying to find out the name of Alice cope's (b 1922 walsall england) mother, all i know about her so far is that her maiden name was Ellis.
Alice had 3 brothers, leonard, william and sydney. she also had 2 sisters irene and winnifed. we beleive their mother died when winnifred (who was the youngest) was around 3 months old.
any help would be greatly appreciated

Buy the birth cert............it's the only way to get the info and know that it is accurate

This is the info you need to order it online from the GRO

im not sure about ada i have all the other ones, and they were in sheffield at the time irene was born. i was looking for their mothers first name thats where im stuck, i know her maiden name was ellis and she obviously married a cope, whos first name im not sure of either. i think she would have been born c1890 altho might be wrong on that

also we know that alice cope married a William Bradley and had 3 sons, Malcolm, Alan and keith, born in 1942, 1948 and 1950 respectively. we beleive that she was incarserated a few years after her youngest son was born, her husband then gave up his sons and moved away later marrying someone else (we think). It is also believed alice was murdered on her release from the mental insitution she was being held in.

hmm im not sure, she would have had to have been really young if she was married before, but i suppose nothing is impossible

Leanne Report 1 Jul 2008 12:28

was emily snape and george cope showing as having had those children i mentioned before? i may have it wrong, but have consulted other people who are related and they seem to have some up with the same?

Leanne Report 1 Jul 2008 12:48

There is a woman missing from the June 1910 marriages that Elouise found. On the complete index on Ancestry there is an Emily Ellis with the same volume and page number.

by any chance has anyone found any evidence of their parents (george cope or emily ellis)?

I think you will need to get the marriage cert for their father's names.
