Find Ancestors

Can anyone help me find out a little more information on this distant realative. He was born late 1908 in Kidderminster, Worcs.?

I know his father was Bertram Cope. That is about my knowledge of him before he married in 1931.

Thanks to anyone from Alan S. :-)

Hello and thanks to Prickly Holly And Maureen in N.Y.

Some great info here and thanks. So the father won the Military Medal. Well done to him.

Just thought i would say that Frederick Bertram lost one arm in an accident and believe it or not he became a local hero as a professional goal keeper for Kidderminster Harriers !!!! What a family......

Thanks from Alan. :-)
