cooper family tree

Shell - welcome to FTF. You are doing fine.

I think it would help if you could take us backwards, starting with one of your ancestors who is dead, such as your grandfather or grannie. And if you tell us what birth, death and marriage certificates you've already got, we can ask about what is actually written on them.

That way we can all be sure that the people we find are actually related to you. It's very easy to latch on to another family with the same name and end up with a family tree that doesn't connect. From bitter experience we know it's easy to go wrong if you don't buy the certificates.

Happy hunting.

Have you looked at the family trees that are on Ancestry and Tribal pages - see my posts nos.15 and 16.

Are they your trees - if not I would suggest you make contact with the person who has submitted them to see if they have any information that would be of help to you.

Hi Shell - that's a long way back. How have you connected to these folk? Have you got actual parish records to connect them to people in later generations?

[shell31]

Hi again, Shell. Have you read any of the other replies at all? And are they starting to make any sense? You seem to be just firing off new questions.

You've mentioned several ancestors and given their birth dates.

Let's start with Wilfred James Cooper born 1902 Ipswich. Do you have his birth certificate? It will give his father's and mother's names.

You say his father was Spencer, born 1874 in Battisford. Is that the name on Wilfred's birth certificate? If so, do you have Spencer's marriage certificate and does it have the same wife's name on it?

Let's take it gently, one step at a a time!

Having looked at the 1901 census, this would appear to be your Spencer Cooper mentioned in the The Ipswich Journal, Saturday, December 10, 1898:

Have you got Spencer's death certificate, Shell? It would give the address where he died, the name of an informant and their address (if you're lucky that could be another family member). The GRO ref for the cert is Ilford, vol 4a, p 816.

It is very likely that he would have been buried at the cemetery at Manor Park, it might be worth contacting them to find out.

Rachel, it was a separate thread when you posted on it, but I merged it into this old one to save people going over the same ground again.
