Hi Everyone

Editing message today Tuesday 1/2/11
I have now received the marriage cert for Daphne as below and there is no Father's name on the cert (Why is this please?).


Good Evening Everyone

I am trying find the birth and death of a George Cooksey he married Daphne Futcher who was born in 1916, at Midhurst Sussex and they married in June 1945 in Bromsgrove in Worcestershire.

Daphne's Mother was Lilian Futcher who was born in Whitchurch Hampshire in aprrox 1891-1892, I am really stuck on this one.

Thank you very much.

Do you have the marriage certificate for age of George and father's name Darkie?

Hi Rambling Rose

I do not have a marriage cert but one of Lilian Futchers great grandsons mother-in-law has given me the correct details of where she married, and her and I do not know anymore info and also I don't know who the father of Daphne was, she had a brother who was Eric born 1913 (Deceased).

Hi Rambling Rose and Brummiejan

I am very sorry my info is very vague, I really don't know where George died but Daphne died in Chelmsford, Essex in 1988.

This is such a mystery

Thank you for the replies

Darkie, there are too many George Cooksey's born around the right period to be sure that death is the right one.

You will need to buy the marriage cert for George's age and details of father. As you don't say whether either party might still be alive I will PM the marriage reference for you to order from GRO.

Hi Rambling Rose

It looks like I will have to get the marriage cert and as I don't know much about George Cooksey I will have to work on Daphne a bit more she is (deceased)

Thank you very much.

This is the birth for Eric

Births Jun 1913 (>99%)

Futcher Eric F Futcher Farnham 2a 323

Mother's maiden name is Futcher as you can see, same for Daphne, so it looks possible that she was not married.

Births Jun 1916 (>99%)

Futcher Daphine Futcher Midhurst 2b 642

the father's name might be on the birth certificates though.

Hi Rambling Rose

This is the mystery that I am trying to find out as on Eric's birth cert it has no fathers name sorry should have said more on Eric, as far I know I think Eric and Daphne had the same fathers and then Lilian went onto marry my Grandad Walter Cozens they had a son Ronald Futcher and then he became Cozens, I do know a lot about the Futcher family its just Daphne and George that is so vague.

Thank you very much.

Not sure why you think it's vague - you have their birth and their mother's name plus an unusual name to work with!

Marriages Sep 1927 (>99%)
Cozens Walter J Futcher Guildford 2a 347
Futcher Lilian J Cozens Guildford 2a 347

Maybe her birth??

Births Jun 1891 (>99%)
Futcher Lilian Janet Whitchurch H 2c 212

But the marriage cert will give more clues.

Hi Brummie Jan

I do have a lot of info on my Futcher family, but what I am trying to find out if my Grandad (Walter Cozens) was the same father to all the children that Lilian and Walter had, Lilian had 4xchildren in total including my Mother. (3xwith the same surname as Futcher and the 4th child Cozens).

(Mother now deceased).

I am going to order the marriage cert and birth cert for Daphne today and hopefully it will provide more info.

Thank you very much for your input.

Hi Everyone

I have ordered the above marriage cert a week ago it has not arrived yet.

How long does it take normally for the cert to be delivered I thought it would only take a week.
