Im trying to find out information on a family that lived in the Enfield, Middlesex area. Henry Cosby died 13th January 1932 and his wife Anne Maria Cosby died 25th November 1920 they are buried in Enfield somewhere but am still trying to find out where. Mabel Elsie (Cosby) Hughes lived at 41 Fotheringham Rd, Enfield but she died in 1960. She had a son William Henry born in 1903 but it is unlikely he is still around. Her husband was also William Henry Hughes. Im just trying to find out anymore information about them for a friend of mine who lives in Canada.

Is this William Henry's birth?: Births Sep 1903 Hughes William Henry Romford 4a 620 ... if so, a couple of possible deaths: Name: William Henry Hughes Birth Date: 26 Sep 1903 Death Registration Month/Year: Dec 1986 Age at death (estimated): 83 Registration district: Stroud Inferred County: Gloucestershire Volume: 22 Page: 2143 Name: William Henry Hughes Birth Date: 27 Aug 1903 Death Registration Month/Year: Dec 1987 Age at death (estimated): 84 Registration district: Haywards Heath Inferred County: West Sussex Volume: 18 Page: 2017 The second of these would seem more likely, unless the parents were very quick at registering his birth (which was evidently registered by 30-Sep if that birth ref is correct).
