thats the wee ones death I think

hi, so much info to take in would william james have married jane caroline ball or anna colver

I think the only way to find that out would be to buy the cert as I tried putting both female names in the search and they both come up but I think thats because they have the same GRO

sorry to throw a spanner in the works but I have found ths too

I did a quick search on 1911 census for Orlando Cooper born 1910 and nothing came up so the record I gave you earlier may well have been mistrancribed as your dad should show up on it being born a year earlier

Hi, thanks again for all your help. I think the way forward is to send for william james marriage cert.Hopefully i'll get the right one. Also will have to look at 1911 cencus for my fathers entry. i now have lots to go on thanks to you

hi, i have had a quick look at 1911 cencus only putting o. cooper in but it keeps saying not found. i am confused as the entry i have for olando is b.1896 residing in rochford essex my orlando for whom everything fits was born in winchester st islington. i know people do move around but my understanding was my father lived in islington all his young life. is there any way i can find who lived in the house he was born in

Hi Gillian

Post the address on here becasue if there is a way I am sure somebody on the boards will have the know how. We have valuation rolls in Scotland that show who it was that owned properties and who they were let out to so maybe there will be something similar for the area you are looking at

Orlando John:

Births Mar 1910 (>99%)
COOPER Orlando John Islington 1b 256 Scan available - click to view

He may have been known as John so might not show as Orlando in 1911.

hi thankyou, i think the orlando john 2/2/1910 of islington is the correct one. my father was always known as jack / john. on his birth certificate he is down as being born at 61 winchester street but his mother kate nee freeland is down as 49 winchester street islington.if anyone knows how i can find out about these two address and who lived there in 1901 and 1911 please let me know

There doesn't seem to be numbers 61 or 49 winchester street in 1901

hi, sorry the addresses are for the time of my fathers birth which was 1910 although i wouldn't think they would have been in new housing

The numbers in a road might change if there was redevelopment to neighbouring roads. Possibly losing a few houses at one end of the street due to road widening or something might have caused the numbering to be amended.
