Patricia Report 6 Jun 2011 22:10

Hi, I'm trying to find more information about Walter John Cornell, born in 1885 in Wandsworth - his son, Bernard Cornell was my grandfather. I can find him in the 1901 and 1911 census, but he seems to disappear before this and I can't find anything about his parents. I'd be grateful if anyone could give me any more information about his family.
Thanks,
Patricia
