Post by: jean12 on Thursday 06 April 06 17:40 BST (UK)

can anyone tell me if there is such a place called amrley, in surrey.  think maybe it is a mispelling.   I am looking for daisy cooper born 1893 approx, father walter cooper born 1857 approx. walter cooper and  the rest of the family born in sydenham kent.    any help appreciated.

Hi Jean,

Have you seen the actual census image you are referring to?
The handwriting looks very artistic but is a nightmare to read.
Nobody seems to be born Sydenham however.

Sending you a PM.

Tanja  :)

Hi Jean.

Probabley Anerley,which is a "suburb" ;)of Penge,which in itself is an adjacent parish to Sydenham.

Regards,
Dave.

thanks for the help.   if Anerley is a suburb of penge, would that mean that streatham was part of surrey back then aswell.

Hope Dave can answer your question.  :P

I see a birth registered in Croydon
Daisy Cooper
June quarter 1893
Volume 2a page 275

Checking genuki for the Croydon registration district, I see it covers Penge  :D

Croydon
Created 1st July 1837.
Sub-districts : Croydon; Mitcham
GRO volumes : IV (1837-51); 2a (1852-1930).
Addington, Beddington, Coulsdon, Croydon, Merton, Mitcham, Morden, Penge, Sanderstead, Wallington, Woodmansterne.


Edit: However I now see the 1901 has another Daisy Cooper, age 7, born Croydon  :-\

Indeed,Streatham was,like Penge and Anerley,part of the ancient county of Surrey.

Sydenham,however,was in the ancient county of Kent.
