Looks like I'm not getting any further help from my nana due to family issues, so looks like Im on my own!

There is some hope tho, my nana's her brother and his wife. Going to arrange to go and see them with my dad at some point, so not all hope is lost.

And Claire has very kindly found me amelia, her parents and 2 siblings on the 1901 census :D

Hi Claire thanks so much.

That should be her.

I've just found her on the 1901 census as being aged 3 at smallthorne, is there any chance you can view that, I don't have any credits or anything?

Amelia Copeland born 1898 Smallthorne Staffordshire? Daughter of Stephen Copeland & his wife Sarah Ellen Holland?

Just nudging in the hope someone can help further :D

After speaking to my nana I've found this out:

Amelia Copeland was born 8th January 1898
George Wakelin born 1901 sounds about right, as he died when my nana was 14/15 so 1949 / 1950 (although I can't find this on bmd). He went to school in Normacot, but did live in Elm Street, Cobridge, Stoke On Trent

George and Amelia lived @ 40 Chatwin Street, Smallthorne, Stoke On Trent

2 years later Amelia married Joe Martin and they moved to 20 Sparrow Street, Smallthorne, Stoke On Trent, where Joe was already living. So this would have been early 50's (1952-4)

She thinks Amelia's mother was Ellen as it's a family name, possible maiden name of Goodwin.

She's given me her siblings details, but will not be chasing those avenues.

I know this info is patchy at best, but any help would be very much appreciated

Thanks Natasha :D
