Herbert James Claude ColeFlorence Maria Cole, born Florence Maria BartlettHerbert James Claude Cole, known as Jim, was the oldest child of James Reedman Cole and grew up at the family's Tottenham Pottery. He was born on 17th August 1882 and grew up at the family Pottery in White Hart Lane. For 18 years was the only son.

On 19 September 1904 he married Florence Maria Bartlett, my grandmother, at St Pauls Church, Tottenham. She was the daughter of Maria and John Bartlett.

Jim worked at the local hospital in Edmonton and retired with my grandmother to West Wratting in Cambridgeshire. He died in 1941 (on 19 August), so I never knew him.
