Cooper of Gt Glen

[Bunnygirl]

Hi Willsy
Yes I found the Will yesterday so not had chance to do anything yet... but it looks hard going as my eye sight is not that good now a days.
So Mary Harrison is his sister not his daughter?  I've got George born about 1775 & Mary about 1795

Looks like we are both researching very similar surnames!

I was looking for you on this Cooper, been a while since I looked for my Cooper!

[willsy]

Hope this will help you out

The other sister mentioned is Eliza Coleman, her husband Henry Freeman Coleman esq. also.

Married at St.Margaret 1 Oct. 1824 by Lic.
Marriages witnesses Edward Chater and George Cooper-looks like there are a couple of letters after his name 
Everybody signed the register

George's will mentions a brother William

[willsy]

The lic. for Elizabeth to Henry Freeman Coleman states Elizabeth is 26yrs and upwards, of Great Glen and a spinster; hoping to find some baptisms I came across

Non-Conformist baptisms
Presbyterian
Great Meeting Unitarian Chapel, Leicester
Parents George and Mary, parish of Great Glen
George Cooper 13 Feb 1790

and you are right about Mary 1795

hanes teulu found both of the marriages for the Cooper girls in the newspaper so I looked for George Cooper 1831 and he left a will also, PCC.

The will dated 24 March 1825
Wife Mary, sons George and William ( William isn't 21 yet)
17 Dec 1831 proved and granted to George Cooper the son and sole executor

St Cuthbert Churchyard George's burial 1855 with parents George and Mary

Thank you very much Willsy.
Well before I start doing to much on the Gt Glen Cooper's I need to verify my William Cooper who marries Elizabeth Waldren 6 Aug 1829 in Oadby. License states William a bachelor aged 24 & Elizabeth of Oadby aged 18yrs + with consent of her mother Elizabeth Waldren widow.
So if age of William is correct he would have been born about 1803/4/5.  The one I have on my tree at present is William son of George & Ann Cooper baptized 21 August 1799 at Thurlaston

So more research to do!
Thanks again for your help it's much appreciated

Just to add, had a look at the marriage to Elizabeth Waldren, Eliz. Coleman, Henry Freeman Coleman, Edward Chater and George Cooper jnr. are witnesses.

Hi Willsy

Thank you very much.
Well I think that confirms I was going in the right direction. 
William's age on Marriage seems to be born about 1804/5  the baptism I have for him is 1799 Thurlaston  ?

His burial in 1859 shows age was 53 years . I have his Will he does'nt mention any children by name he has a few under the age of 21 and Elizabeth  has already died in 1851 so he appoints 2 guardians

Thank you again
