Carmarthen

[nenepops]

I am trying to trace family of a late Horace Edward Coppard, known as Ted. He was born on 19/05/1919 (in or around Bromley) and died 1978 Carmarthen.
Hi mothers name was Ethel Weeden/Weedon.
Horace may have been adopted??
Any INFORMATION ON THE LATE Horace Coppard would be brilliant.

Thank you I have all this info. I just have no idea where he went....
It has been said he went into Bromley Institution and then onto Gordon's Boy school on Mitcham Rd, Croydon. But cannot locate him!

Hi,

This looks like his parents divorce, maybe the papers would give more info about what happened to him
