Alfred and Arthur Cole
« on: Thursday 21 April 05 15:32 BST (UK) »
Hi

I wonder if anyone can help. My father has told me that one of his uncles emigrated to SA possibly to work on the railway. The problem is he does'nt know which one!!

They are

Alfred Cole born about 1883
Arthur Cole born about 1899

both born in London and I know both were still in England in 1901. I know this is a long shot but nothing ventured nothing gained.

Many Thanks
Smokey

Do they have any second names at all? It might help me to look in the archives.
Thanks

Hi Ruth

Alfred has a middle initial of W

Arthur has a middle initial of either H or A (I can't make out the handwriting properly!!)

Many Thanks

How does Alfred William Cole sound - died in 1950 born in Battersea. What is the 1901 census info for the family say? I can look it up if you can give me a few more details.
