Ronald Cooper I think has mothers maiden name Norton to link the families together.
Maybe Doris and Dorothy were sisters.

Lilian also mmn Norton but 1922 Bedwelty not 1921.

I can see a Doris Norton marriage to a Cooper (Edgar in Bedwelty Dec 1915) but not a Dorothy Norton marriage - is it possible she was married in between so the marriage to E J Smith wouldn't be under Norton :-\

Thank you, yes I did find a marriage for Doris but can't find connection between Doris & Dorothy as both where a Norton

Is it possible to find Doris or Dorothy on a census as children. They should both be on the 1901 if birth dates are correct.
Stumbling block is where were they born. Wales perhaps as Doris married there.

Oh that's great thank you!

A family tree has the Bromsgrove Doris marrying Ernest Cooper and there is a sister Lilian same mothers name Price which would tie in with her naming a daughter Lilian Cooper.
No corresponding Dorothy to make her a sister, cousin maybe.
