Thanks Rebs, So only one in 1841. Wish they had stayed in one place would make this much easier. Valetta

Valetta, The result I gave you for the '41 census on the other thread was the only John Cooper around the age you asked for listed in Bilston, Wolverhampton. Rebs x

Hi Zoe The 1851 & 1871 census for Hednesford are online. http://active.sln.org.uk/hednesfordcensus/ They are on the 1871 page 140 JOHN COOPER 81 WIMBLEBURY M 28 BILSTON STAFFS MINER (Industrial) H 7 7 M MARY COOPER 81 WIMBLEBURY F 26 SEDGELEY STAFFS (Unemployed) W 7 7 M JOHN COOPER 81 WIMBLEBURY M 7 BILSTON STAFFS SCHOLAR (Scholars) S 7 7 S JAMES COOPER 81 WIMBLEBURY M 6 BILSTON STAFFS SCHOLAR (Scholars) S 7 7 S THOMAS COOPER 81 WIMBLEBURY M 4 SEDGELEY STAFFS SCHOLAR (Scholars) S 7 7 S SARAH COOPER 81 WIMBLEBURY F 2 CANNOCK STAFFS (Unemployed) D 7 7 S ISAAC COOPER 81 WIMBLEBURY M 0 CANNOCK STAFFS (Unemployed

This maybe their son Ernest Coopers birth based on address in 1881 Name: COOPER, Ernest Record Type: Births Quarter: December Year: 1877 District: Cannock County: Staffordshire Volume: 6b Page: 495

Do you have the 1871 census to make sure of the childrens names and birthdates If so please post if not someone should be able to get it as I do not have access Zoe

The John Cooper marriage in Dudley he is the only entry for Dudley at moment But the Mary Woodward in 1862 maybe this is her birth if it is your mary Name: WOODWARD, Mary Ann Record Type: Births Quarter: December Year: 1843 District: Wolverhampton County: Shropshire Staffordshire West Midlands Volume: 17 Page: 349 best thing to do would be order one of their childrens birth certs so you know mothers maiden name then we can look for a marriage until then its all speculation Zoe

Hi Zoe Does a Mary appear on the same page as Cooper John Dudley 6c 168? Valetta

Hi Zoe Yes that is John & his family. Year for John 1837 but has never been constant with age on census, In 1901 was 62. Mary always constant with her age although on 1871 census birth Sedgley not Bilston. Valetta
