Welcome to the boards, Sarah.


An alternative 1911 to the one posted by Maddie (the family Maddie posted didn't include a Phyllis):

Thomas has a different YOB from that given in 1939, but otherwise the details seem to fit.


EDIT: Can't see a Thomas W Cox born 1881, anyway.

(Might have been born 30 Dec 1882 ?? one year mistake in 1939, perhaps??)

As Sarah's a new poster, have PM'd to let her know there are replies.

Wow overwhelmed by how helpful you have all been. Thank you so much. Some definate leads to follow up.

Sarah Smith

Sorry following this where she was listed as cooper was she married twice, struggling to find out. Thank you :-)

Yes, going by the 1939 register (posted by safc on 10 June @ 15:44), she was married twice, first to James H Webb, as you already knew, and as per 1945-55 Edgbaston electoral register (posted by AustinQ on 10 June @ 17:04), and then to John A Cooper (marriage and death posted by Maddie on 10 June @ 17.05).

Thank you again she was my great grandmother and I didn't know this x

As Phyllis and John Cooper married in Stourbridge, this MIGHT be John's death:
