Dear Charlene,
Good news, great news...the birth Cert of George Cooper has turned up to my friendthis day in England and it confirms this, with the exact birthday I always had and that whichis on his grave, beside Fanny Wells.
I quote Elizabeth Howard:
"Well well well, we come to the same conclusion at the same time , so that is
good ............George C`s birth cert came this am and says exactly what
you have , that he is b 16th Sept 1843 , at Wrawby, his father is John
Cooper ,agardener , and his mother registered the birth with a X and she
is Ann Hargrave ........"
So that is goodwe have the right John and Ann, so presumably all the rest follows into place with a few rounded off date discrepancies!!!
I have added the bapts and you confirmed Arthur Herman's name, which I had one record of as Arthur ERMAN, thinking it may be a forebear's name I left it.As it is George Cooper and Fanny Wells have amongst their children a Herman Cooper...so that is another conclusion.
So as this Fanny and George married here in Canada in that "grey area" c 1868 when they may or may not have not registered, I guess finding a local church may be all that is left?
And then there are all the descentants...of which a handfull I know of
A very excellent amount of information has been gathered in a short time...I am use to British India record Office as well as Britain, so this Canada experience is new.
thank you for your keen eye,
David in Toronto
PS
I have since found aIGI John Cooper born in Wrawby, Lincolnshire 30 OCT 1793...to a Christopher and Hannah....
MINE ??????????????????????????????
