Title: Ernest Henry Cooper 1901-1966
Post by: jimmel on Saturday 04 August 12 21:20 BST (UK)

My grandfather Ernest Henry Cooper born 1901 and died 1966.  His parents Jesse Cooper and Ethel Frances Howard both died in about 1904.  I am told that Ethel Howard's parents brought him up.  I cannot find him on any census or on any documents until 1927 when he married my grandmother Annie Victoria Leach.

Any help/suggestions on where I should be looking would be greatly appreciated.

Regards
Melanie (Cooper) Longfellow

Hi and welcome

He was Henry Ernest - not Ernest Henry which may be why you cannot find him in 1911

Births September qtr 1901 
Henry Ernest Cooper    Mitford  4b 267

As he was born after the 1901 census - you will only find him on the 1911 which is strictly pay per view

Hello Melanie  :)

If it is of interest Henry Ernest's parents Jesse Cooper and Ethel Howard were married on 21st  August 1900 in East Dereham. Jesse was a baker.

Thank you for all your help it is much appreciated.  I will start looking in the 1911 census index.  I had never though of looking under Harry.

I live in the USA so research here can be harder but I am getting there!!!
