Apologies if this has already been covered and I'm talking BS...
I have been looking into your family tree on FS and I think there is a confusion about Hannah...
If your great grandfather Samuel Benjamin COOPER was the son of John Edward(s) COOPER and Catherine Mary ROBINSON, Hannah (nee MASSEY) was Catherine's mother and Samuel ROBINSON was her father.
Hannah MASSEY married Samuel ROBINSON in 1838, Stockport.
John Edward(s) COOPER was he son of Benjamin COOPER and Elizabeth EDWARDS.
Elizabeth and Benjamin married in St Mary's Catholic Church in Mancherster in 1832.
I think your great grandfather was named after his two grandfathers (Samuel ROBINSON and Benjamin COOPER) and his sister Hannah Elizabeth COOPER was named after her two grandmothers (Hannah MASSEY and Elizabeth EDWARDS).
The 1861 Census has the family as ROBBISON on Ancestry and ROBISON on FamilySearch (I don't have access to the full records, I'm in Brazil) - Samuel (45), Hannah (44), Cath(e)rine Mary (17), Ellen (15), Margaret (13), Robert (13), Betty (7), Sarah Ann (2) and Cathrine (75- probably Samuel's mother).
I have added this info to the FS family tree and if there is any error I'd be glad to rectify the entries.
