Hi Rozzy,
Quoting from your other thread
George was born 14/2/1836, and Sarah was born 28/8/1836
I can see a Sarah in 1851, but she's Sarah Ann ...

Basingstoke, Hampshire
Market Place
Sarah Ann Pigeon, serv, 14, Nursemaid, b. Basingstoke

Will see if I can find a better match :)

Was going to say her age doesn't match but I see it's her christening that was on 28 August 1836, not her birth 8)
She's not at home in 1851:

Looks like you've got Sarah sewn up. Is George as easy?

Tati!! You're Wonderful!!!
The 'birth' dates I have are from the death records, but I had no
parents names.
George arrived in Fremantle as an apprentice tailor so that certainly
does look like him!! He worked in Fremantle as a tailor before becoming
a greengrocer with a tribe of kids!
Thanks so much Tati for all your help :)
Best wishes
Rozzy

I'm intrigued by your interest in George Cooper (1834-1909) He is my mother-in-law's grandfather. Her father was his son Harry who died in 1930. Denise
