Hello from Australia,

My great grandmother was born Alice Cooper. In her marriage certificate dated 1876 she said she was aged 22, was a spinster, her father was William Cooper deceased, and she married James Taylor Oliver at Sheffield.

In some later censuses she said she was born at "Forest of Dean" but I haven't been able to find from Ancestry.com or Familysearch.org (or anywhere else really) details of Alice Cooper having been born there or in a Census there.

Would you have any suggestions as to how I might find the missing information about her?

Regards

Glen Oliver
