Births Dec 1909

Cole Walter William H Wandsworth 1d 612
Cole Frederick Albert F Wandsworth 1d 612

Yvonne their father was Arthur, a bricklayer from Kent.

I have just spoken to my friend and he says his father died 1965 in Wimbledon

He also assures me that -
the twins were Sydney and William and he thinks they were born after 1911
a sibling by the name of Robert was the next born after his father George Henry

His father never talked about his family apparently hence the lack of info.

Still looking:

These twins?:

I am thinking both you Gritty and Jan are right.

As it happens, I have Robert Sidney Cole's birth certificate I got some time ago. At the time i didn't think it was the right Robert BUT it says father was Henry Firman C Cole Fruiter's assistant and mother Alice Cole.

I just need one of the other birth certs i am waiting for to match this info and I am up and running again.

Thank you, everyone, for your help

COLE Robert Sidney of 4 Orchard Ave, New Malden, Sy, died 31st August 1971, Probate London 2nd December.

Gerry,

Just in case you don't know - a Birth Cert for a twin will show the actual time of Birth, whereas that for a single child won't. So if you do send of for any Certs the time will confirm that the baby was indeed a twin. It's added because the elder of the twins may be the one who inherits.
