RE: Cooper/Taylor/ Parker families

Cathay,
I have not got any details about Annie Sheppards sister Mary Mills, I only have her name, she may have married a Mills or she may have been born a Mills?
Some bits and bobs:
I have found details of another Mills though, Christopher Herne (brother of Meshach, Alice Taylors husband) married Betsy Mills.
I also have details of an Albert Taylor b1880/1. He was the son of Nathaniel (b1841/42) and Margaret Taylor. I will have to confirm this, but I think this Nathaniel is the son of Nathaniel b1812 and Sophia Taylor, Nathaniel who died a few years after the bridge accident. Albert was born in Brentford. I dont know if this is any help?
I have a reference for a daughter of Samuel Cooper and Patience= Gentila b15/11/1874, then I found a reference for the birth of Samuel Sanger Cooper b20/8/1876 (who should also be the son of the above) and his parents are said to be Samuel and Ann? This may be a mistake, I am not sure, but I found this reference on the previous gypsies passing through site.
I am just flicking though my notes and I have found another Cooper/Smith marriage: = Vanslow Cooper (son of Mattius and brother of Samuel) married Amy Smith daughter of George Smith.
Henry Shepard and Ann Taylor married 7/12/1845 Hammersmith.
on the 1871 census in Kensington, Henry Taylor 43 chair caner b Watford Herts, with wife Mary 29 b NK.Also with them are: Walter Hearne 22 Chair caner b Newmarket with wife Phillis 20 also William Cooper (brother-in-law - to Heare?) b Plymouth, with him, his wife Esther 25 and son William 3 both b Plymouth.
AHHHH, I have found the reference the Brazils gave me: Genty Cooper (d/o Annie Shepard and Sam Cooper) married Fred Lee, HE CHANGED HIS NAME TO SAMUEL SCOTT! Their daughter was Alice Scott who married Frank Ransome.
more to come....
