Having a quick look, I see Jesse is to be seen in 1901 with wife Ethel age 30 born Bedford (marriage Mitford September quarter 1900 - Jesse Cooper/Ethel Howard, 4b 526). He dies early: Sep 1904, Mitford, age 34, 4b 155.

Hi Tati

Wow!  I am amazed at the amount of information you have uncovered.  I spent hours at the LDS family center and went around in circles.  I should then write away for the marriage certificates to confirm the information?  How did you track down the marriages?

Thanks so much

Check out this marvellous site (it's not complete though - under 'information' you will find coverage charts). Their database is also available at www.ancestry.co.uk , although updates sometimes take a little time before they appear on the ancestry site. Henry Cooper as Louisa's possible spouse, for instance, didn't appear on ancestry.
