Baptism - George COOPER c1881 Iver Heath

[Necromancer]

.... 

and I think you'll find that '1901 Peabody Bldgs' George is in Islington as a Silk Tie *, with two young sons in the 1911 - cant look at the transcription, sorry ...

Onward & upward .... I've been looking at the 1881 census for Georges in (South) London engaged in the Railway businees - theres a few, but mostly clerks, inspectors and engine drivers ....


see if you can find the George I found in 1901 - a Gen Lab, born Southall ...

Hi Tati -
did you spot any London PoBs for the 'Norveners' you found ?

I don't think so - they didn't show when I searched for birth place London or Middlesex 

[Necromancer]

Ta muchly - any observations on the status quo ?

[Tati]

I'm completely lost

So..... have we made any progress?

Yes, it looks like you found Eileen for me...

Have we ruled out Iver Heath? I've looked through ALL the census pages for 1880 1890 and 1901 that covered Iver. There were quite a few Coopers living there. George 1881 doesn't necessarily have to be born there, the story is just that they came from that way......

.....and I just bit the bullet to check all the 1904-born George Coopers on the 1911 census in the Southwark area and none of them match up, so I am only left with the Warwick option....

Who were the marriage witnesses - anyone named Cooper?

If we are open to all suggestions, then there's also this one (he's still in the same area with his parents in 1901 though)

No, there were no Cooper witnesses I'm afraid.....

The Brummie looks interesting....trying to find him in later censuses
