Title: Look up request for Jane COOPER/COUPER - Glasgow
Post by: jimbrim on Saturday 31 May 25 14:31 BST (UK)
I am trying to trace a baptism for Jane Cooper/Couper around 1808 - 1811. She married John Allinson in Cumbria in 1839. Marriage cert gives her father as John Cooper (Engine Stoker). Both Jane and her father were residing in Camerton, Cumbria. I believe her brother Archibald also lived in Camerton at this time. Census info details her place of birth as Glasgow, Scotland (1851, 1861 & 1871). Does anyone have a connection to this family or knowledge of Glasgow parish records for this period?
