I have been currently trying to research my grandmothers side of the family both her adopted and birth families. My grandmother was known as Patience Coles born 13/10/1927 and died in jan of 1978 of breast cancer. We think she grow up around dorset or bournmouth area but since we dont have her proper birth certificate we arent 100% sure what area she was from we only have her birth date and year because of her death certificate abd we also have my grandparents marriage cert. Mt grandmother married my grandfather victor david roder in 1945 and they had 3 children one being my father david roder followed by paul roder and a daughter jean roder. she lived in Kent till her death. |

The father's name on her marriage cert is that of her adoptive father..and his occupation will be recorded |

Yes it does give his occupation but i cant really see it the only family with a cedric coles iv come across was from Devon area he must be the right one because i cant seem to find any other. |

I think the aim now is to see if any members of the coles family or summers family remember this story or has this been told to any of them. Grandmother must have accessed her birth family info at some point to know her birth family surname. |
