Cooper Family

[Deb]

Trying to find out  about my grandfather's family. His name was Samuel Cooper and his parents were Enoch and Phoebe(nee Foster) their other children were possibly Tom, Mary, Florence and Phoebe.
They were from the Wednesbury/Darlaston area.



Thanks

Hiya Debs

What sort of dates are we looking for? If they were around at the time of the 1871, 1881, 1891 or 1901 census I will have a look for you

Hi Willow

Thanks for the lookup offer.    Could you check the Darlaston/Wednesbury 1891 census for Enoch Cooper he would have been about 14 at the time.

The only address I have is 16 Holyhead road which is where he was born but I don't know if they were still here in 1891.

Any help much appreciated

Thanks
Deb

I dont know if you have this information

In 1901

Enoch Cooper aged 25 head
Phoebe Cooper aged 22 wife

I cant tell you anything else from the census because its so faint its unreadable

He married Phoebe in 1899 GRO ref 4th 1/4 6b 1338 her maiden name was Foster. There is a chance Marys maiden name was Horton
