Can't help directly except to suggest (1) that perhaps Ellen's Mum had remarried; (2) that the surname is less likely to be the Jewish Kohane etc than something Irish like Callaghan, Calhoun etc? Geoff Geoffrey Chew g.chew@rhul.ac.uk ________________________________ From: eng-surrey-bounces@rootsweb.com on behalf of Alison Martyn Henry Sweetman married Ellen "Kohoane" in 1880 Brentford Henry was from Co. Cork, Ireland and Ellen was evidently born in Brighton c.1856 I have a copy of Daniel's birth certificate (1893 - 180 Meyrick Rd, Battersea) and Ellen's maiden name is given as COHOANE. With them in 1901 is...Ellen's mum (age 80 born Ireland). It's really hard to make out her surname but it's certainly not Cohoane/Kohoane. She's either Mary or May...and then Crawley/Crawly/Crowley..something like that. I've searched for Mary/May's death and can't find it.
