Baptism of Lily Mitchel COPE about 1877
« on: Tuesday 18 February 20 02:59 GMT (UK) »
I have a few pieces of information and hoping for some assistance to locate Lily Mitchel COPE's baptism please.

Lily Mitchel COPE married William Horace Walpole ROBERTSON and their marriage was registered at Wandsworth, Surrey between Jul- Sep 1905 [Volume: 1D; Page: 1423;]

William Horace Walpole ROBERTSON died in 1915 and his death was registered at Wandsworth, Surrey.

In the 1911 Census Lily was aged 34 with a birthplace of Derby, Derbyshire.  In the 1939 Register there is a Lily ROBERTSON, widow who may or may not be the Lily I am researching.  She is employed at Stuart's Farm in Witney R.D., Oxfordshire.  The date of birth noted in the register was 23 Feb 1878.

Unfortunately that is all I have so slim pickings.  :'(

Looks like the best thing to do is purchase the marriage certificate, to find her fathers name.

I agree that would be the best solution however money is tight at the moment so may have to put this one into the 'later' basket.

Shall wait to see if there are any more replies.

Hello
I'm guessing she's something to do with an Edward Mitchell Cope born 1860/65 Leicestershire
leather dresser.
He has a wife Ellen E born 1871 and children Lydia Mitchell Cope born 1878 Stourbridge,Arthur Edward born 1895 London  and Ellen Elizabeth 1898 Hertfordshire .
2nd wife Eliza Ann Kneller born 1863 Stepney married MEOT Sep 1901.
In 1911 they are in Derby.

1891 census Harrow St Haughton and Walton  Lincolnshire
Edward Cope 31 leather dresser Leicester
Ellen E 25 Notts Lenton
Lydia M Cope 13 scholar Stourbridge

Her mother is given as mdn name Mitchell
Edward Mitchell Cope's father is also an Edward and it's difficult to spot the difference.
There is a family tree on Ancestry which gives her as the daughter of Edward Cope and Mary Mitchell.No spouse given for Lydia.

But of course that could all be a red herring
