Hi,
Im researching my family tree and would be very greatful for any information that anyone could give me about the cooper family in the Christchurch/Hillersland/Shortstanding area. I am aware that there are 2 very large cooper families in the FOD. My Great grandfather was Milson Cooper (1898-?) married to Elizabeth Ann Egerton (?-?).
I would love to hear from anyone who thinks they may be related or have a conection to my family tree.
Thanks
Elizabeth Thorne
