Electoral Registers on a well known website for the Midlands are up to years 1955.
For Birmingham there is another pay to view website ( not a Family History website) Registers are up to year 1960 for Birmingham.
All online.

Should you female relatives be missing from Electoral Register, remember
**Females were not allowed to vote until 1918 and had to be aged 30 years or over . In 1928 this age was lowered to 21 years of age. In 1969 the age was lowered to 18 years of age.
So Lynda Beatrice could be living with Mum.
**Exception made to some females who owned property of a certain value.

The Midland Electoral Roles, where the info for the occupants of Tindal Road came from, aren't online for every ward for every year. So its possible that they where at the same address, but not available on line.

I think the reason that Beatrice is not down with her mum in 1911-1927 as ladies aged 21 and under weren't able to vote until 1928.
Mind you that doesn't account for the years from 1927-1935 !!

I was interested in the information that Sarah and Lynda Beatrice Waters were living at 65 Tindal Street in 1939 and both at the same address in 1935 with a Walter Scott. In 1944 on her mother's funeral card she is calling herself Lynda Beatrice Scott. Could this mean she married/changed her name to Scott between 1935 and 1944? Could Walter Scott be her partner? I can find no record that ties up! As it is said Sarah Waters is on her own with James Lambourn in 1927, is it possible Lynda Beatrice married someone else between 1911and 1927 and reverted back to her maiden name? Not sure how I can begin to solve this mystery.

Tindal Street and Woodford Road where Beatrice L Cogan was look as though they were quite near to each other. So maybe purchasing that death cert might prove fruitful.
In the Teliphne book there was a B L Cogan registered at that address from 1960-1970 say could that have been when James Leslie Cogan died.

The 1901 census for beatrice with the Smith family are correct.
George Amos Smith married eliza Pinfold. Eliza Pinfold 1865 banbury oxford had sister sarah Pinfold 1867 banbury
Sarah Pinfold married William Gascoigne in Banbury 3a 1295 had Maria Gasciogne 1889.(on 1901 census) Sarah Gascoigne married J/A/S 1897 in Banbury 3a 1897 to William Waters.

Do you think this could be " Beatrice "
Lynda B Cogan died aged 62y in Birmingham Sep Q 1961 9c 372 born 1899 -- if yours would have been 63y in Dec so born 1898 --
National Probate Index
slight name change
Beatrice Lynda Cogan died 11th July 1961 wife of Leslie Cogan -Electrician of 72 Woodfield Road Birmingham £560 - 12sh
not found a marriage England / Wales
A death of a James Leslie Coggan [2 g's] 65y Birminham 1970 Dof B 15 Jan 1905
Birth of a Leslie Coggan Mar 1905 Ecclesall Bierlow [ next to Sheffield ] West Riding - could be in Sheffield 1911 - parents Arthur Richmond 36y and Lilian Alice 30y Coggan married under 1 y -- 2 children
A Leslie Cogan = Jessie Wells 1933
A Beatrice Waters = John Powell Dec 1919 Sheffield no saying if yours ??
Divorces cost money in them days so perhaps no one bothered
A copy of the death cert. and the Will might help could say if an artist

Babies were registered within 6 weeks of birth.
Thyewere then often baptised after that .................. and could well be given one or two more forenames
Birth certificates are usually not altered in those cases.
OR she could well just have liked the name Lynda ............... and decided to use.
Many pe9ople have examples of that in their trees.
OH's maternal grandfather adopted a second forename sometime between signing his apprenticeship papers at the age of 15 and marrying at about age 24. After about 1907, one never sees his name without the 2 names ..................... it could have been a means of distinguishing himself from all the other people in Wales with the same name!!

I looked on FreeBMD for births in Reading 1896-1901 for Beatrice (actually looked for Bea*) and there's only 2 with a surname anything like Waters:
Births Mar 1899 (>99%) Waters Beatrice Reading 2c 336 [your lass]
Births Dec 1899 (>99%) Waters Beatrice Maud Reading 2c 352
This agrees with the local index at http://www.berkshirebmd.org.uk/ Berkshire Birth indexes for the years: 1899 Surname Forename(s) Sub-District Registers At Reference WATERS Beatrice M St Giles, Reading Reading STG/73/63 WATERS Beatrice St Mary, Reading Reading STM/59/93

Sorry - a typing error I meant Lynda. I notice on one of her paintings she signs herself Lynne.

I have sent for Beatrice's birth certificate which confirms her date of birth as 6-12-1898. She was given the name Beatrice only. Don't know how she came to use Lydia. Still can not find any records that tie up. Am at a loss which avenue to go down next. Any ideas?

Waters is sometimes spelt Walters and I have tried looking for a marriage in the Birmingham area and a subsequent marriage to a Scott. Nothing seems to tie up. I suppose there could have been other marriages. My mother was from a generation where divorce was frowned upon. As Beatrice searched for my Grandmother for sometime and there was a period of her life when the family were not in touch anything is possible.

I was under the impression Beatrice married Scott second but as my mother died a while ago I cannot confirm this.
