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.

Berkshire / Didcocks in Berkshire
« on: Wednesday 19 November 14 02:34 GMT (UK)  »
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.

I'm limited to Ancestry.com over here for research.... Can't see a whole lot.  Are there any other sites or databases I should look at?

Yea that's her... She came here with my mother and her brother and sister...  I'm sure that's where she was living after they married.  My mother seems to remember Harry being on the marriage certificate.  She also said that my Grandfather never met her father or mother...

Yes.... She is still alive.... If her birth date of 1910's is true then she is X this year on the 29th of Nov

Anything is possible at this point.... It's a total dead end.  I ordered the marriage certificate and there is nothing on it about fathers name or mothers name.  I can't find a birth certificate at all.  My mother didn't even know her maiden name until she was in her 20s.  It lists her middle name as H on the marriage so my mother says "Hope" but on the passage to USA it lists it as I.... So "Irene". What's even stranger, my mother doesn't really see this as odd.... My grandmother has never said anything about her past or where she's from or even her birth date.  My mother swears it's November 29,1914, but her marriage certificate in 1943 to my grandfather shows her age as 24 which would mean she was born in 1919 but I can't find anyone with her name anywhere born in 1914 or 1919.   Up until a few years ago she didn't even admit to being Welsh..... She always said she "hated" the Welsh....... So strange.  It's like she is hiding something.

Hi!  And thank you.  I actually have her marriage certificate and it doesn't list her fathers name at all.  It lists her game as Cecilia H Probert..... No fathers name on it at all.  She married my grandfather Luther A C Cooper from here in the USA in oxfordshire.    My mother and Aunts have been trying to pump information out of her but she gives nothing at all.  I guess they were able to get out of her that she grew up in shropshire..... But that could be more half truths.

Well, i have gotten limited information from my mother about my grandmother.  She said my Grandmother was born in November 1910's in Pontypridd.... Her name is Cecilia Probert maybe spelled Cecelia as well.   Nothing can be confirmed because the grandmother wont talk about herself or her past.   I know her father is "supposedly" named Harry and she has a Sister Anne or Annie....... she also has a brother, but not sure of his name either... either Harry or Leland.  It's frustrating because she is tight lipped about nothing really... so if anyone knows of ANYTHING that may help, it would be greatly appreciated..
