Birth for Catherine or Kate Corke
« on: Tuesday 29 May 12 13:43 BST (UK) »
Hi Please can anyone help me find the birth for catherine/Kate Corke born in Woolwich in 1869.
According to a newspaper report she was the sister of my Grandmother.
On our family tree there is no trace of my grandmother having a sister-only two brothers Herbert and William.  I am thinking that maybe she would have been a cousin of my grandmothers.

Any help would be appreciated

What about the 14 year old visitor Kate COULSON born Woolwich in the 1881 census with your CORK family at Burton in Staffordshire?

The nearest I could see is Jane Kate COULSON dau of Charles and Priscilla of 2 Cambridge Cottages (Staff Sergeant in the Royal Artillery) baptised Woolwich 3 Jun 1866 (born 19 April).

If that isn't any use, what date is this newspaper and what is the article about?

Hi Molly

Is it possible to tell us your Grandmas name and age as it helps when we look
at the census if there are other possibles in the family list.
Also, you mention Herbert being your Great Uncle, was he born
July 1870 at Tonbridge, Kent and was his middle name Henry?

I did find a Catherine Frances Corke born 1873 in Greenwich which
is next door to Woolwich but need some more info just to prove it.

Yes this is the family. Annie is my Grandmother.  Catherine.s married name was Gold
so could not have been her sister in Law.
Thanks for replying. I am overwelmed.
