Have you located his family unit in 1911?

Is his year-of-birth accurate?
-

Ok, so where were each of the parents born and how old were they?
-
His Father Joseph was 32 in born in STAFFS BROWNHILLS and Emily was also 32 born in YORKS HIGHGREEN.
There is one marriage between a Joseph Cooper and Emily Walker but this was in 1899, in barnsley.
Thanks Lisa

Well I can see joseph, b 1878 Hanley and wife Emily b High Green in 1901 census.
RG13/4313; Folio: 146; Page: 27
Looks like the 8 years married is erroneous.

Hi Lisa,
I read your comments, did you get to the bottom of the Cooper/Pilkington saga. I am trying to find my grandfather line (Joseph Cooper who married Ivy ? (think it was Palmer)) both passed away before I was born, he could be the son of Joseph and Emily. Any leads you have would be appreciated.

Hello Alison,
Welcome to RootsChat.
I am very sorry but your reply to Lisa has sadly bounced back to us, it looks like she may have changed her email address but we do not know what the new one is?
Regards
Sarah
