Hi,
I have been told that a Emily Jane Dann had 2 illigitimate children,she was born 1890 hailsham.

At home in 1911,she is there with her daughter Emily Irene Dann,there is another child Cecil E G Dann.But he is not her child i have been told.

Someone said that he was born Cecil Cobb,i cannot find one on Free bmd.

I have found a Cecil A R Dann marriage in 1941 Hailsham but not birth so i am wondering is this the Cecil?

Can you help?

Best wishes MFM
