Help with birth year of Arthur George Cole
« on: Saturday 29 July 17 19:01 BST (UK) »
Hi, I'm hoping someone might be able to help me. My grandfather was adopted and I'm trying to find the date of his adopted father' birth. My grandfather was Gordon James Cole (b.1905) and his adopted father was Arthur George Cole who I'm assuming died between 1901-11 as he's on one census but not the later. In 1901 he is living in Chichester and married in Gosport in 1876. Any help with when he was born would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Jon

What age does it say for him on the 1901 census?

How old was he in 1901 and where does it say that he was born? Have you got his father's name from his marriage certificate?

Where did you get this information as I cannot see it on free bmd:

'married in Gosport in 1876'

I was about to ask that as well, Chempat, as I can't see a marriage either.

I also can't see a death that fits between 1901 and 1911. We need the information from 1901, please.

Is this Gordon James in 1911, presumably with his adopted Mother:

I'm puzzled here. I've found Gordon in 1911 with mother Alice and a brother Lawrence Henry born 1889.

However this is the 1901 - no Arthur, Alice is already a widow.

Alice E Cole   38
Lawrence H Cole   12
Richard Keates   7
Naomi Keates   3

Have I got the right family?
