Title: Cooper - North Shields around 1800
Post by: john whitelock on Monday 21 June 04 23:34 BST (UK)

I am searching for the baptism of James Cooper who, according to the 1851 census, was born in North Shields around 1795

James married a Mary Ann Hart married in Christ Church, North Shields in 1826.

They had a son David Ions Cooper in 1831 who was baptised and married in the same Church although his son William David married in the Catholic Church.

I have not been able to find the baptism of James in North Shields or Tynemouth.  Any information greatfully received.

I have more recent info on this family if it is of use to anyone

John,
Have you looked on LDS IGI there is a James Cowper Christening 1793 Earsdon By North Shields. Father Adam Cowper mother Ann. I know the spelling is different but I have found my names spelt in many ways. Hope this helps.
Mary

Thanks for the information.  Have found the name spelt COWPER before, but hadn't thought of it this time.  I'll investigate this line with interest.
