Image
John Ernest "Jack" Coleman Gwendoline Cork Why was Beryl (born May 1929) named after Gwendoline?  Married in 1931 - Train bearer Master Geoffrey Cork. Eldest brother Sydney Cork In 1950, a Gwendoline Cork was living in Harrow at the same address (15 Chandos Crescent) as a David Cork, an Arthur D Coleman and an Agnes E Coleman. Very strange coincidence.... Could Jack and Gwen have broken up? Arthur named after Jack's eldest brother? Who is David Cork?
