Thomas Cooper, Dublin, Engraver, Born around 1809ish

[Funky Phantom]

His Fleet Street address in 1851 may show he worked with newspapers or weeklies. From about 1846 or so magazines like the London Illustrated News and the Graphic had a huge amount of work for engravers.

Many thanks. I guess he moved to an area in London that would support his trade

I wonder if there are any engravings by him. I will put that on my list of things to search for

Thank you for your help - much appreciated

best wishes

Will

unfortunately it looks like Mary Jane's elder brother died quite young..

  Burial of Henry Cooper of 43 Mary St, 11 Sept 1845
  Parish - St. Mary CofI

Address is the same as listed on his baptism - and his baptism shows same parents and father's occupation as Mary Jane.

Hello Shane,

My family are Catholics, I wondered if

It looks like the marriage was before the start of registration for non-Catholic marriages (1845) - so parish records would be required. Full BMD registration started in 1864 - see : Introduction to Irish Records

If they married in Dublin City they may be included in the IrishGenealogy website mentioned earlier.

Knowing Amelia's maiden might make the search a bit more focused.. and also confirm, or rule out, any matches found.

My family are Catholics so I am wondering if this goes right back to Ireland? - it will be interesting to find out

...
My family are Catholics,....
....

the two baptisms and the burial are in a Church of Ireland parish... equivilant to Church of England.

I had a quick search for a marriage of Thomas but nothing promising.
