vanslow and amy smith mine.as these are part of the windsor coopers they are very well researched so leave them bot we dont know the ascestry of amy smith.that would be good.    old alfie said that thomas father was also thomas so that s william right out the picture i think.it must have been thomases father that went to aussie?any kefford info around that time is useful as i have only done them back to late 1800s at present.

i am also looking for a dangerfull cooper born 1835 to nelso cooper and isabella smith.he had a sister brittainia for anyone who really wants to follow coopers.like smiths they are a minefield though
