Well when they died really.

I dont know anything about them My Late Grandad had little to do with his family and even said his father was dead on his marrage cert.in 1927.
A big fib his father is buried a five min walk from his house and died in 1948!

It would be nice to know if they stayed in London.

It is difficult with census only going up to 1911 and all family members who might have remembered are dead.
Thanks for reply

Thankyou.
It is so sad about William.

he died just after my daughter was born.

My parents had me late in life hence having ancestors from early 1900s.

Thankyou for your help.

Is there anything else that you are looking for?

Cooper Report 10 Apr 2010 18:42

Just wondered if William ever married?

My late mother said that william was in the Navy in 2nd World War however it is hard to know what is true or false
with anything she told me. I have not unearthed any skeletons in the cupboard yet and she was hiding something
