I've been trying to trace the birth in 1906 of my paternal grandmother on 1837online and Ancestry.com. I've been told that she was 'an orphan', which may or may not be true, so the surname I'm searching for could be her father's or her adoptive father's. As she falls between census years she doesn't exist anywhere else, except for her marriage to my grandfather in 1927. I can't find her father - real or adoptive - anywhere other than on the marriage cert. either. I've not used exact spellings and have not stuck just to 1906 but just don't seem to get anywhere. If I could just find her birth cert. the whole thing would open up for me. If anyone has any advice I'd be really pleased to hear. Many thanks Jackie |

Muriel Rose Corper (known as Rose) and Charles Howard Corper. I've been told there is a family link to Hoxton, but this hasn't really helped. Thanks |

Sorry Nell, the wedding was in Hendon - I have the cert but the address given for her wasn't the family home I don't think. Jackie |
