UPDATE:

Hackney Council Archives checked the electoral rolls for 1918 for me. Unfortunately my Great-Grandparents are not listed at 56 Cowper Road (which is the earliest known address for my elusive Nanny Dinah).

Also, I believe no electoral rolls exist for 1916 and 1917 due to WWI.

I wonder how else I could find out when and for how long they lived at 56 Cowper Road?

directories – trade – street commercial
Historicaldirectories.org or County RO
1792-1950’s though not every year and not every are was covered in all directories

There's a William Walter Langley then shuffling off this mortal coil in 1894 Hackney 1b 226, and a death for Harriette Jane Langley in 1900 (Hampstead 1a 538).  I wonder if the baptism for Dorothy was done when she was about 10 in a mass baptism (there are about 7 children all baptised on Feb 8th 1903)................

Not being a regular user of Rootschat, I have only just discovered this exchange.  The threesome named are part of my extended family. I am particularly interested to the ref to the baptism of Dorothy - where was this, do you have an image of the entry?
As Dorothy was no longer in her infancy - the baptism may have been a requirement prior to confirmation.

Hi All,

Hope you're well.

Do you think DNA testing would help at all??

Kind regards,

No expert Glen, but there are several on this site who are e.g. Devon Cruwys; why not ask her advice/
