...I was told the mother lived in Far Cotton area of Northampton, but it will just show as
Northampton on the BMD records...


Hi Helenback,

Far Cotton was in the Hardingstone registration  district at that time, so perhaps Northampton is
not a relevant district to home in on. I would also tend to search before his date of death as well,
just in case.

I have been searching Northampton and Hardingstone districts and have looked at names prior to his death, but I was given the impression the baby was born after his death. If I uncover anything I will let you all know.

Just picked up on this thread.

I understand you may have connections with Frank George Hewes, Edward Roland Cooke and possibly Albert Thomas Johnson, all of Hardingstone, all died in WW1. I am researching on behalf of the Hardingstone History Society. We are trying to organise a commemoration of soldiers from Hardingstone who fought in WW1 and found this thread. Our commemoration will be ongoing from the centennial of the outbreak in August 1914 to the end in November 1918.

If you can offer any information regarding these people and their descendants who we would like to invite to be involved in our centennial memorials please get back to me.

I am new to rootschat so hope this message gets through to you! Many thanks.

Richard.

Fear not I get email updates!
I can't help with Edward Thomas Johnson. Edward Rowland Cooke had a son bit unable to identify him by name. I can check if I have any further details on Frank George hewes though but it won't be much so you would still need to do some research to bring his relatives to the present day.
