Thanks everyone - frustrating not to be able to follow the paper trail.......I've spent days on this and got, well, not very far!!

Sue,

margaret Rose offers Oxfordshire look ups, so I wonder if she could help with George H Coles marriage??

Here's her thread;

http://www.genesreunited.co.uk/boards.page/board/records_office/thread/1086522

If you have any problems getting onto it and need a hand, just drop a message.

I did look through Margaret Rose's thread and someone asked about a birth in 1920, so fingers crossed she maybe able to help?

That's the 1 Patchem. I wondered if he carried on a specific surname?

There's a death in Bromsgrove for George Henry Coles born 8th Aug 1893, Ella also died there............... but can I find a birth and census to match up with Mabel or the father........... NO!!!

Also George H Coles would be the right age to have joined up in WW1, and yet no papers!!! Argh!

Presumably this one, but not D specified:
Albert Henry D Powell

Sorry, don't know. Thanks for yr help.

Sue,

The son born to Mabel in 1923, what did the "D" stand for as his 3rd chrstian name.

Looking at all possibilities! Birth could have been reg a bit late? But can't trace in census.....

Date too far out?
Births Dec 1901
COLE Mabel Eleanor King's N. 6c 393

She is Colley in 1901, same family.

Indeed, maybe - more thanks; will try and take that further......Sue

Maybe the witnesses marriage??

Could an Estate Carpenter be a tree feller?

Father Albert Edward Cole so the family in Worcester don't match - shame, and thanks for checking.

Father's occupation on marriage cert is "tree feller" and not marked as deceased. V common name unfortunately.

This has father William Henry and brother Albert Edward, are you mixing the two up? (Sorry, do not mean to be rude, just want to make sure of facts)

Yes. Known siblings are Gertrude and 'Doll' who may well be Dorothy; also a brother. But don't know if they are older or younger. Marriage cert had George H Coles (with s) and Dorothy M G Coles as witnesses. Mabel married William Henry Powell.
