Didcocks in Berkshire

[biscuit1971]

I am trying to piece together a family "lie" that has gone on for give or take the last 70 years.  My Grandmother met and Married my Grandfather Luther A C Cooper as a Probert.  I have now found out that her family name is Didcock.  her father was called Harry Didcock, Mother is unknown, Sister is Annie G Pratley (Didcock) (Married Sydney Pratley)... and her brother is Harry Didcock.  I am looking for information on that family, dates for the parents, possibly a mothers name.  All documentation i have found up until now is under name Probert, nothing under Didcock... so any assistance is greatly appreciated.

If you purchase one of the birth certificates it will give mothers name. 
You can find details needed here  http://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.pl

Certificates are available from the GRO for £9.25 including postage

According to a tree on Ancestry, Annie's mother was Florence Lydia Didcock, and her father was Harry Albert Green.
The parents married in 1914.

Annie's birth?:
December qtr 1910
Wallingford district     vol 2c, page 307

Didcock, Annie G


None of this matches a 1911 census?!

I haven't paid for ancestry yet.  I had paid for it for 6 months before but got absolutely nowhere.  so im researching the siblings and go from there.  I've all but decided that the family is a lost cause.

Interesting that there is a daughter with her on the voyage to USA  in 1947. She is aged 6 so born before her marriage to your grandfather.

Worth searching on FreeBMD for a birth reg under the various surnames.

Hi, she was born in 1947, so I think it should state 6 mths

Thanks,  Marg - it does say 6 though

I see that there is a  multiple col headed A. C. I  - assume Adult; Child; Infant. This daughter was in the I col

Well, as you probably know Gadget, most records are copied from other sources, and are prone to error.
