A puzzling Family Mystery.. help please

[Milliepede]

Are we assuming the friend S L Hone is female? 

What generation would she be from, would she have been young at the time and unmarried or an older lady perhaps married or widowed can we glean anything extra to help solve the mystery?

Thanks so far.. pretty much sorted Harry Albert Cooper apart from whether or not he divorced Hannah who should have directly inherited his estate in 1935. Maybe not!..

S L Hone?  is a mystery and unknown as to whether a male or female. Only possible link is Elsie m Hone (30yrs) a visitor to Gladys on the census of 1911..

Noted that Harry Albert Cooper gave his mothers details in 1911 as his nearest relative (perhaps that was the norm to provide your parents ahead of your wife?) when he embarked on his world tour!.. thanks once again.. still a big void in Gladys life after 1911 and not yet positively identified her mother Hannah’s death.. and afterwards..

possibly Hannah Cooper 91 sept qtr 1851 Worthing vol 5h pg 507 ?

Very good possibility as they both lived together in Worthing and Gladys died there in 1982. Thank you..

Mrs Hannah Cooper of 48 Compton Avenue Goring, formerly of Chiswick, who died 27 Sept last, aged 91 years...

Hannah Cooper

Death Sep 1951 Worthing

Age 91

Yes, I do believe this one definitely fits!.. So that now leaves Gladys alone with both parents dead and she remains  a spinster until her own death in 1982. I wonder what she did in Worthing for over 30 years!.. Thanks once again
