This is all getting very complicated and i'm not surprised its confusing you because its confusing me. All I know is that my mums brother, we knew as Roy was born well before her and she was born 1928. I know he married a woman called Linda Ingrams but their marriage cert shows him as being called Malcolm W R Cooper. I wondered if the R stands for Roy . I just cannot find any birth certificate for Roy Cooper born 1916, anywhere in the country. His father , my Grandfarther was born in Birmingham. I know nothing about Roy's birth mother. |

They are my grandparents. At least I now know that his middle name was Percy , that might help a bit. Thankyou |

Pam - if there is no age on Malcolm/Roy's marriage certificate does it have a line through that column or have they written "full age"? What does it say for his father's occupation? |

Sorry I think I have confused you a bit. I only have the marrage entry for them not a full cert.. It is very interesting that you give the other info on his death because he did die in Butlers Cross . I will look more into that thankyou. |

Pamela - you are going to get into a muddle if you just go by the register entries, you use the information from them to order copies of the actual certificates. |

so if Henry was born c1899 he would have been very young to have had a son born c1916. |

I'm wondering if it was mum who was actually quite a bit older than her brother, not the other way round? ......... |
