Miriam Dobbins is my great great grandmother, and by my figuring she was married to William Cooper (1856-?) who was the grandson of Griffith Cooper and Margaret so if Griffith was also the father of Elizabeth then Miriam Dobbins and her husband William Cooper would have been first cousins.

Kevin.

Thanks for the information. I didn't have that detail on Emma.

Regards

I am trying to push back the details on Richard (b 1798) and Elizabeth (1813). I think Elizabeth is the daughter of a Griffith COOPER and his wife Margaret.

Not sure about Richard but he could be the son of Richard DOBBINS and Elizabeth NEED of Newent. I understand Newent isn't far from Gorsley.

Any help is appreciated.
