I'm confused.

"epson birth not her"

-- right, as I posted, that one is in the 1911 census


"eleanors parents was RICHARD WILLIAM COOLEY AND ALICE BILBOROUGH"

What Eleanor?

Aren't the parents in 1901 Richard Cooley and *Ellen* ?


And I would still really like to know what it was about the Nellie Bradley death that showed it was not your Nellie.

Just so we have ALL the info that YOU have, which has been a bit of a struggle in this thread at times, I think!

oh you seem to be onto something which sounds right

Why would he have his sister as next of kin never thought of that

Deb

Flick

Why do you say that please I must have missed something

Deb

You know what Siobhan that could be her. I think I will invest in that birth as it is close to her one

Thanks V much 4 that

Deb x

I wonder if this could be a possibility for her birth

Births Jun 1901 (>99%)
TOOMEY Eleanor Catherine Mile End 1c 484

I know the surname is Toomey, but Toomey sounds very like Cooley if you say them both out loud.

Just need to see if she exists as a toomey after her birht, if she does, then it will rule out this birth.

Sorry i am a bit behind after tyring to find all my info

right on marriage cert
Eleanor's father is Richard William Cooley a News vender

at the time she lived at 104 fairfoot road Bromley

Deb

from what Flick has posted for the 1901 census, I would contact the records office/archive that has the baptism records for the nearest parish to that address they are living out. Bearing in mind your Eleanor was born a little after the census she is likely to of been baptised in that same area.,

Also in regards to the date of birth her brother gave for on his army record. What we have to remember is not to take that as concrete. I have seen far too often wrong dates being given by other family members for births, marriage deaths etc.

right found it sorry for delay

epson birth onot her
eleanors parents was RICHARD WILLIAM COOLEY AND ALICE BILBOROUGH

Deb

Edit

Sorry not Alice Bilbough Ellen Robers


Sorry for confusion

Deb

On the thread on the Help Clinic, someone has just stated that there isn't a birth record for Eleanor...........what fun!

It is all in the thread, Flick -- and at the bottom of the page before this one I posted the 1891 household where Richard Jr, born c1886, is not present, and I can't find him elsewhere.

Richard Cooley 27
Ellen Cooley 26
James Cooley 4
Catherine Cooley 3



Debbie, also, I asked on the previous page -- the death certificate for Nellie Bradley -- you say it isn't your Eleanor, but not what it was on the death certificate that told you that. Can you tell us?

give me a couple of minutes

My kids have moved my paperwork

realy stressed

Be back V soon

Just trying to figure out who she was first, which could help find where she went!

Do you have Richard Jr's marriage certificate? Would be nice to know what he said for father's info.

Can you repeat for our benefit too, what Flick asked -- what did it say for father's info on Nellie's marriage certificate?

Janey

you are so right

but where did she go?

Deb

I'm sure it's already been pointed out, but I can't plough through all the pages...........

Nellie is a 'pet' name for women whose name is actually Ellen or Eleanor, so you can almost certainly rule out any idea of her having a second name.

Marriages Dec 1925 (>99%)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cooley Eleanor King Poplar 1c 852


Is there a father's name on the marriage cert?

I believe this birth was mentioned in your other thread:

Births Sep 1901
COOLEY Nellie Epsom 2a 22

She is in the 1911 census independently so is ruled out:

COOLEY NELLIE F 1902 9 Epsom Surrey



O'Grady/Treadwell - I didn't do the final step -- look for that Nellie's birth. ;)

There were Nellie O'Grady-s born in 1897 and 1912 (w/o middle initials) and in between w/ middle initials, 1905 and 1911, so indeed, that doesn't look like the same Nellie!

... except that it's the only Nellie Threadwell death there is, hmm, and there isn't a second marriage for the O'Grady one ...


Okay, the thing now is, when someone deletes their post, there is no trace left of it.

I have been replying to a post by Sib suggesting that the Nellie O'Grady who married Threadwell couldn't be the Nellie O'Grady whose death was posted. That post is gone now. Don't know why.


Also meant to say: Ellen and Eleanor were virtually interchangeable in the 19th century. And also, by the early 20th century, it wasn't uncommon for young women to be tarting their names up. My grmother became Lilian when she married because my grfather thought Lily was too common. A while back, I found someone's grandmother who had married as Kathleen Marion, but I found born as plain Kate Mary. ;)

So Eleanor Nellie could have been born plain Ellen or Nellie, and called herself Eleanor (or thought she was called Eleanor).

I'd guess at this being Nellie Threadwell:

Name: Nellie O'grady
Spouse Surname: Threadwell
Date of Registration: Apr-May-Jun 1925
Registration district: Norwich
Registration county (inferred): Norfolk
Volume Number: 4b

Threadwell-O'Grady births

1929 and 1935 > Hertford

Debbie, if you can get back to the previous page (I wouldn't bet on it), I was the one who resurrected this thread.

I'm wondering where Richard Jr was in 1891.

just found this death in Essex, she might of stayed in the same county after her disappearance and remarried

Nellie Threadwell
DOB: 22 Jun 1901
Year of death:1972
Reg district: Epping

Page: 1902

Hi Sib

Right this woman has been a pain from the start

As far as i Know her name was Eleanor Cooley on two of her childrens birith cert she had the the middle name of Nellie my dad rememner's people calling her Nellie

I think I need to go down to the rigister office and see what I can find out

The thing about her going in 1951 is 100 % as my dad was a young child at the time 7 years old and he was so close to be taken into care at the time. But lucky for him his dad was home at the time ( A firemen) and he stoped it and his sister was in hospital with cancer. so he does remember it.

Going in to my family;s history it is a very sad story
