  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

How old was your grandfather? if he was younger than her maybe she shaved a few years off her age

I'm also puzzled about the new surname

Was she married to a Probert previously?

Hi

"but on the passage to USA it lists it as I.... So "Irene"."

This passenger record, arrival date 21 Jan 1946, for a Cecilia I Cooper, b 1911  states she was born in Mexico, so may not be related to your research

Is this a possible birth for her?


Births Sep 1923
Probert    Cecilia J    Probert    Warminster    5a   211

The J could be mistaken for an I

I read that record as her Mother being unmarried, hence the double Probert.
Jones, Knight, Bateman, Lightfoot, Ostler, Childs
