Just a thought. The son is called James A Cottee. Wonder if there is a James A Head death that fits.

There is a James C Head born 1858 died 1919 june qt West Ham gro ref 4a 235.

Hi everyone who answered my post,just to let you know that i have my grans fathers name now as on her birth cert and one of the head death certs i sent for the address matched!!
he was herbert andrew head died silvertown 5/11/1913 and was married to lucy who was present at the death and was the informant..the next day..he also left lucy with at least 3 kids going on the 1901 census...maybe they all lived together who knows!
i have 6 other death certs for "head" that died in the area around that time if they are of interest to anyone.
thank you again for all your ideas and help

Pleased you finally worked it out.

Its amazing that Lucy was the informant on the death cert.

She obviously either didnt know about his other family or was very forgiving.

Being the informant she must surely have still been living with him?
