Hi Rozzy,

Quoting from your other thread

George was born 14/2/1836, and Sarah was born 28/8/1836

I can see a Sarah in 1851, but she's Sarah Ann ...

HO107/1681 161 15
Basingstoke, Hampshire
Market Place
Sarah Ann Pigeon, serv, 14, Nursemaid, b. Basingstoke

in the household of William Pistell, Plumber Glazier & Painter and family.

Will see if I can find a better match

Nope, can see only one girl ...

1841
HO107/385/4 28 17
Basingstoke, Hampshire
Potters Lane
Jacob Pidgeon, 40, Labourer
Eliza, 40
Martha, 13
Daniel, 11
James, 10
Elizabeth, 8
Sarah, 5
Charles, 3
Eliza, 1

All born in county

Was going to say her age doesn't match but I see it's her christening that was on 28 August 1836, not her birth 

She's not at home in 1851:
HO107/1681 197 5
Basingstoke
Potters Lane
Jacob Pidgeon, head, 50, Bricklayers Labourer
Eliza, wife, 51
Daniel, son, 21, Farmers labourer
James, son, 20, ditto
Charles, son, 12, ditto
Eliza, dau, 10, scholar
Henry, son, 8, scholar
William, son, 3

All born Basingstoke

Thanks Tati!!  You must have been waiting for my question 

Looks like you've got Sarah sewn up.  Is George as easy?

Thanks

Rozzy

I take it you're positive he's the one christened on 14 February 1836 Eastrop to parents James and Anne?

If so, then this one looks good:

Basing? Road
James Cooper, head, 52, Ag lab, b. Hants Sherborne (something I can't read)
Anne, wife, 52, b. Cliddesden
Charles, son, 22, Ag lab, b. Basingstoke
George, son, 14, Tailors Apprentice, b. do.
+ 2 lodgers

1841
HO107/385/6 31 2
Basingstoke
Vinco's? Farm?
James Cooper, 50, Ag lab
Ann, 50
Charles, 13
John, 9
Susannah, 7
George, 5
Charlotte Hornet?, 70, Ind
James Pierce?, 25, Ag lab

All born in county.

given the other christenings in Eastrop to parents James and Anne Cooper:

Harriet 10 May 1818

Tati!!  You're Wonderful!!!

The 'birth' dates I have are from the death records, but I had no
parents names.

George arrived in Fremantle as an apprentice tailor so that certainly
does look like him!!  He worked in Fremantle as a tailor before becoming
a greengrocer with a tribe of kids!

Thanks so much Tati for all your help

Best wishes
Rozzy

I'm intrigued by your interest in George Cooper (1834-1909) He is my mother-in-law's grandfather. Her father was his son Harry who died in 1930.  Denise
