Looking for Louisa Florence Durrance who was born in 1930 at Pately Bridge, Yorkshire, her parents were George Durrance and Nellie Ellen or Annie Ellen (nee Wiseman) Parents thought to have had a boarding house near Pately Bridge.

Also looking for John Cooper born abt 1894 believed to be born in Sheffield, who married Harriett Dexter in 1919 in Sheffield and moved to Retford,Notts. don't know if this any help but John's father was said to have been a Master joiner at Old Sheffield United and Yorkshire Cricket ground, but don't have a name for him. I have no other details about them.

Thank-you for any help
