Member Since: March 2007 Posts: 12 Send Message	Yes. Known siblings are Gertrude and 'Doll' who may well be Dorothy; also a brother. But don't know if they are older or younger. Marriage cert had George H Coles (with s) and Dorothy M G Coles as witnesses. Mabel married William Henry Powell.

	That's the 1 Patchem. I wondered if he carried on a specific surname? There's a death in Bromsgrove for George Henry Coles born 8th Aug 1893, Ella also died there............... but can I find a birth and census to match up with Mabel or the father........... NO!!! Also George H Coles would be the right age to have joined up in WW1, and yet no papers!!! Argh! Dee x
