Hi Folks,
I hope you don’t mind if I ask for a little help.
Long story – so will be as brief as I can.
I am looking for the birth of Elizabeth Harriet COOPER bc 1874
I have her marriage and death and they match this birth year.
Elizabeth H’s mother was Ann TRIMMER b 1844 in Farringdon, Hampshire.
Now this is where the story gets complicated.
Ann Trimmer was married to John COOPER in 1865 and they had George and Annie – I have all these certs.
She then appears in Scotland with a new “husband” (I don’t think they were married, as she reverts back to Cooper at a later date, as do the children). New hubby was Thomas Price. This couple then had 4 more children, all with the name Price on b cert but later reverted to Cooper .
Now back to Elizabeth H – she is the only birth that I can’t find a cert for. She could be either a Cooper or a Price as she was born in the middle, after Annie. However her marriage and death were both as Cooper. Not that that means anything as the ones who were definitely Price went by the name of Cooper.
Now I have sent for a few certs but all have been wrong.
Below are NOT the correct Elizabeth H-
Harriet Cooper b 1874, Binsted
Elizabeth Harriett Cooper b 1872, Binsted (John Cooper was from Binsted)!
Elizabeth Harriet Cooper b 1874, Stockton
Also – I have some poor relief records for Elizabeth and it says she was born in “HENLAY” England.
Help please – I would really like to get her birth and find out if she was a Cooper or a Price.
I will send on some censuses shortly.
Thanks very much.
