Ernest Cooper b. 17 July 1880
« on: Monday 14 April 14 08:34 BST (UK) »
My great uncle, Ernest Cooper, was born in Lancashire, England on 17 July 1880. He lived north of Liverpool until he emigrated to America some time between 1901 and 1911. On 1901 English census he was a 20 year old bricklayer living with his parents.
I cannot find his passage out, but the family are definite that he went there and settled.
On Ancestry I found an Ernest Cooper living at 266 West End Ave, NYS. Petition no 151297 or 151299 to become naturalised. It is dated Jan.20 1930. I suppose it's far too simple for this to be him, but I don't know how to check! Can anybody help me please?
Many thanks, Matahui.

Thank you Sandra. He is not my Ernest, so it's back to the drawing board! It's good to have the confirmation, though. many thanks, Matahui
