Have been trying to trace my great grandfather william james cooper 1854 and great grandmother charlotte rosina howlett 1857 but i am having no luck all i know about them is they had three sons james barrett 1877 , william 1877 and augustus 1880 probably of middlesex if anyone has info on any of these i would very much appreciate it

Roughly when were they born and when were their children born? Just to narrow down possible timespan ...

Cooper William Conrad Mile End Old Town 1c 629

Hi, this could well be the correct family. I did have an uncle james and the birth date would be about right. The mystery is the olando m 1896. My father was orlando john but he was not born until1910. I often wondered where the name came from. Maybe he is an uncle to my father although i am almost certain their were only three sons born to william james. Maybe he remarried as i was led to beleive charlotte rosina died shortly after augustus was born

found this death but it is in a different district to all other registrations and I am not familiar with districts down south

Not sure where you order certs from in England but I have read on the boards that if you order the wrong one they do contact you if the parents names do not match but without the certs you cannot be certain that they are the right births

If your dad was born in 1910 he shoud have been on 1911 census so maybe that is an error that has occured when it has been transcribed it may be worth paying to view the original image
