Yes I did think Ronalds Mother was a link

Ronald Cooper I think has mothers maiden name Norton to link the families together.

Lilian also mmn Norton but 1922 Bedwelty not 1921.

I can see a Doris Norton marriage to a Cooper (Edgar in Bedwelty Dec 1915) but not a Dorothy Norton marriage - is it possible she was married in between so the marriage to E J Smith wouldn't be under Norton 

[DIANA60]

Thank you, yes I did find a marriage for Doris but can't find connection between Doris & Dorothy as both where a Norton

[Milliepede]

Is it possible to find Doris or Dorothy on a census as children.  They should both be on the 1901 if birth dates are correct. 

Stumbling block is where were they born.  Wales perhaps as Doris married there.

I will check that out thank you

[rosie99]

I don't think they are sisters

Oh that's great thank you!

A family tree has the Bromsgrove Doris marrying Ernest Cooper and there is a sister Lilian same mothers name Price which would tie in with her naming a daughter Lilian Cooper. 

No corresponding Dorothy to make her a sister, cousin maybe.
