Hil Gill,

Found these 2 as follows:-

William Coote 1883 Hanover Square
William George Coote 1883 Poplar

There are others in different districts. Have you his fathers name and occupation, perhaps the census may be of help.

I See that from the marriage he was William B. What was his middle name.

Hi Izabel, thanks for your help. My grandfather was William Blake Coote.
It seems that he was born William Blake between 1883/85 to Eliza Blake out of Wedlock. She went on to marry William Coote in Chelsea in Mar 1886.
I am not sure if William Coote was his father or hetook William blake on as his son when the marriage occured.
It was suggested that William Blake born in Sept 1885 in Chelsea was him but I got the birth certificate & the parents of that William Blake were Henry & Rachel Blake (nee Naunton).
I have found a William Blake born in Sept 1884 in Kensington & I think that is where his mother came from in Mar 1866 but only way to know for sure was the birth certificate. Have when he married & died but this seems most probable route, would you agree? Gill

Hi everyone,
Just to say that I have finally located when my grandfather, William Blake Coote, was born. He was born in Sept 1884 in Kensington. It took a lot of cross reffering & cross checking but at least I now have an important missing link to my family.
I would like to thank everyone for their help.

Thanks for letting us know that you found him.
