Hi, I'm helping a friend trace her roots and I'm stuck!
Her ancestors can be found in the BMD marriage indexes as well as the 1911 Census.

Her ancestor was Michael Kolopajlo who married Agata Wylinsinte abt 1900 in Bethnal Green. They had 3 children, but only one survived Joseph Kolupajlo. I have noticed the spelling of the surname keeps changing. Since 1900, it has been spelt: Kolupaytio. Kolupajlo, Kulpulio, Kolupaylio, Kolupajlio,

I can't find a death record for Michael or Joseph, but I have been told that Michael died at 100 Sclater Street, Bethnal Green, Middlesex, England.

His son Joseph was also known as George J Brown and can be found living at 84 Sclater Street, Bethnal Green, Middlesex, England

I am to see the mentioned marriage certificate this weekend.

Any ideas of how to trace Michael's and Agata's ancestry?

Many Thanks,

Angie

For our info.

Another interpretation of the spelling of the surname

1911 England, Wales & Scotland Census Transcription
2 Platt St Pancras Road N W, St Pancras, London, England

First name(s) Last name Relationship Marital status Sex Occupation Age Birth year Birth place

If you know where Michael died, do you have any idea of when?

When was Joseph at Sclater Street and under which name?

Thank you °o.OOº°‘¨Claire in Wales¨‘°ºOO.o° for finding the possible death index for Michael Kolopajlo.

I think I found Joseph's death record in the index: Joseph Brown died Mar qtr 1960, Poplar. I will have to confirm with my friend when I see her.

To greyghost,
I found Joseph at 84 Sclater Street in the 1964 Electoral Register as George J Brown. Family say he was Known as George John Baker or John Baker.
I was told that her father lived in Sclater Street and that her grandfather died at 100 Sclater Street.
