Title: Cooper Family - St Peter Port, Guernsey, Channel
Post by: harr2jas on Saturday 12 May 18 05:51 BST (UK)

Hello,

I would appreciate any information on my Cooper family line and any subsequent connections in the Channel Islands. James Seward Cooper was born 1839 Steeple, Dorset and served in the Navy during the 1857 China War, I have read somewhere that perhaps Strand House number 6 is where he lived in 1881. His wife Mary Gibbons and children Violet and Edward, regards Jason

Here he is on the 1851 and it has him born at Steeple, but residing Kimmeridge. Kimmeridge matches the 1881:
