Cecil parents appear to be:

Marriages Jun 1914
Coates Henry L Waterman Hackney 1b 951
WATERMAN Florence L Coates Hackney 1b 951

But your maternal grandparents look to be:

Marriages Jun 1920
Coates Frank Dixon Poplar 1c 1082

Have you tried to contact the 'Tony' about whom I told you - with this man in his tree?

Births Sep 1917 (>99%)
Coates Cecil H Waterman Brighton 2b 286

But..........there is no record of a 'Vera' as a sibling on freebmd

There is no birth for Coates/Lloyd for any name which could remotely be interpreted as 'Tony'......and no birth for Coates/Lloyd anywhere near the district in which they married.

Was he their natural child?

Reggie. Name is exactly right, DOB is right. I never Knew of his death as I had moved away. But it just sounds right. Cecil and Martha were Tony's parents. Vera and John Halstein were my parents. Vera and Cecil were brother and sister.

The birth is on FreeBMD

Edit wrong parents names for this one who married in 1952

A GR member named Tony has a Cecil Coates (Brighton 1918) in his tree.

Any use?

Think Mattie must have been a nick name as there is no marriage listed for them .

Where was he living when you last had contact?

Was he married?

WHEN was he born...............year only.
