Title: Cooper and Eyre Family
Post by: stpoint on Friday 03 August 07 01:50 BST (UK)
Does anybody have any information on a family that I am researching..... George M Cooper who married a Kate Eyre (b.1882) in St James (Sutton) around 1912.   They are seaid to have come from Hull and West Ella respectively.   I believe they had an only child named Vera who was born in 1914.   Any assistance would be lovely.

Karenlee, that would be nice...the only details I have are the areas of west ella for the Eyres and Hull for Cooper but every know and then Sculcoates or southcoates gets a mention...are they the same place?...I believe, rightly or wrongly, George Cooper may have died in the 1930's...thats about all I have.

I think that this may be your people on the Census.  Of course the only way to really know for sure is to get Kate and George's marriage certificate, as this will give you their parent's names.  West Ella is quite close to Kingston on Hull in Yorkshire, Sculcoates is in the civil parish of Kingston on Hull.  So Kate was most likely listed as being born in Hull.

But for starters :-

1891 Census England Yorkshire Sculcoates West Sculcoates
RG12/3930/56/20
29 Symons Street

EYRE
George Head Marr 39 Labourer Yorkshire Hull
Elizabeth Wife Marr 39 Yorkshire Hull
George E Son Unmarr 13 Scholar Yorkshire Hull
Sarah E Dau Unmarr 11 Scholar Yorkshire Hull
Kate Dau Unmarr 8 Scholar Yorkshire Hull
Lily Dau Unmarr 5 Yorkshire Hull
Ada Dau Unmarr 2 Yorkshire Hull

1901 Census England Yorkshire Sculcoates West Sculcoates
RG13/4493/45/25
62 Seaton Street

EYRE
Elizabeth Head Wid 49 Baker of Bread Yorkshire Hull

Sarah Dau Unmarr 21 Knitter Fancy ? Yorkshire Hull
Kate Dau Unmarr 18 General Servant Domestic Yorkshire Hull
Lily Dau Unmarr 16 Paper Feeder at Printing Works Yorkshire Hull
Ada Dau Unmarr 12 Yorkshire Hull

Not too sure about this one, but he most fitted the parameters you specified for George m COOPER :-
