Arthur Carisford Cooper
« on: Tuesday 04 February 14 10:54 GMT (UK) »
Hello
I believe that Arthur was born about 1859. He died in 1910 in Menzies and it is said that he was 51 years old. I am not certain of this.
I believe that he lived in Sydney before 1900 sometime but I cannot track any information on him. These is an Arthur C Cooper born 1869 but I think this may not be him.

I am trying to track down if he was born in NSW or anywhere in Australia. Does anyone have any leads.
I have tried the NSW BDM site.

If his mother was Francis C Muckle the C may have been Carisford!!

Any clues please.
PS I am on Ancestry.com.au but have had no luck so far.

Thanks
Regis 1952

From the linked thread

    Birth in NSW
    2904/1892   
    COOPER Olga R   
    Father Arthur C  Mother Caroline
    District Sydney

    This certificate should show the parents details including place and date of their marriage.
    Transcriptions are available in NSW [$20] and a cheaper option to purchasing the full certified certificate.

I note the report of his death was in the Bendigo Advertiser...perhaps he was from Victoria.

May I ask the source for Arthur's mother's name as I can't see it mentioned on the thread.

The birth certificate would help you with your research.

The Kalgoorlie Miner (WA : 1895 - 1950)Tuesday 14 June 1910 has a death notice.
COOPER,— At his residence, Menzies, on 12th June, Arthur Carisford Cooper, aged 51, after a long and painful illness. (New South Wales, and English papers please copy.)

This suggests his family were in England.

Also reported in the Bendigo Advertiser - mentioned on linked thread on reply#1 so possibly lived in Victoria at some stage.

I posted some info on the linked thread about Arthur in NSW supported by the mention of him at the Gaiety Hotel, Sydney  in the NZ Paperpast

You need Olga's birth certificate to learn more about Arthur and Caroline.
