Here's the family on the 1861 census - lodger Thomas could be Bartholomew's brother.

RG9/889/104/16 - Horsepath, Oxfordshire

Batholomew Cooper  Head  27  Ag Labourer
Eliza Cooper  Wife  21  [...]
Charles Cooper  Son  12 wks
Thomas Cooper  Lodger  29  Ag Labourer

All born Horsepath.

Eliza's occupation looks like "slop maker" or even "step mother"...

Hi Rambler

That comment could well be correct. The 1841 census of Oxfordshire and North Berkshire has been transcribed and indexed by the members of Oxfordshire FHS (who hold the copyright). The transcription shows :-

HO 107/877/1  Bullingdon  Headington
Folio, Place, H, Surname, Forename, Age, Occpn, Born in county?
 48,             ,  , COOPER      , Thomas      , 7   , Pauper          , y
 48,             ,  , COOPER      , Bartholamew , 7   , Pauper          , y

They were enumerated together at the Headington Union Workhouse !

Interesting ?

Thank you for your reply.
 Bartholomew Cooper and Thomas Cooper were twins. Their Mother died and that is why I believe they were in the poorhouse. I would still like to be in contact for more information like how long were they in the poor house and if any other siblings were there as well.
Thanks Clarice

On  1851 census, Bartholomew Cooper, aged 16, is a servant (Farmer's Labourer) with a farmer named John Hom in Horspath.

Can't see twin Thomas at present.

Will have another look tomorrow - just back from a Christmas party and struggling to keep my eyes open...
