Title: Henry Cooper about 1840 East Dereham
Post by: jimmel on Monday 13 August 12 03:58 BST (UK)

I am trying to find Henry Cooper's parents.  The census records that I have found say his parents are Henry Cooper and Sarah Elizabeth Cooper.  I am also trying to find Henry Sr parents to he was born about 1817.  All come from East Dereham from what I can find.

Any help would be greatly appreicated.

Regards
Melanie (Cooper) Longfellow

Hi

I have given a great deal of info via pm to Melanie following a pm request from her.  All that info is being duplicated here as I was unaware of this post

Henry born 1818 is fully catered for from marriage onwards and having linked brother Frederick to the 1841 family listed above I have sent details of all IGI baptisms for the children in that entry plus the marriage of Henry Cooper and Helen Elizabeth Edwards

This is what is missing at the moment

Proof that Henry & Helen Elizabeth Cooper were the parents of Henry b 1818.  There is no baptism on the IGI linking him to those parents despite all the other children being accounted for

Melanie then wants to go back further to establish the parents of Henry Cooper 1791
