I'm having another try at Anthony Cooper (heres what I think I know).

Births Jun 1847 COOPER Anthony Westby on Sv 11 457
Deaths Sep 1889 Cooper Anthony age42 Gloucester 6a 153

I know his father was William Cooper (birthdate unknown, died before 1851) (and suspect he) married Caroline Bailey Mar 1842 (BAILEY Caroline Westbury on Severn 11 461).

Anthony Cooper married Rachel Goode 24 Aug 1873 and they had at least 7 children together (Rachel Cooper was also the mother of Rhoda Minnie Goode b. 6 May 1869)

William Cooper (1874- )
Rachel Cooper (1880-1935) in the 1911 census her occupation is Sergeant (any ideas?)
Eveline Cooper (1881- )
Mary Ann Cooper (1883- )
Gertrude Nellie Cooper (1885- )
Katie Cooper (1886- )
Arthur James Cooper (1890- ) in the 1911 census his occupation is bootmaker

After Anthonys' death in 1889, they moved from westbury on Severn to Cardif. Arthur was born just after Anthonys' demise.

I'd like to hear from any living relatives of any of these people and or anything at all about any of them.

Thanks in advance

Lawrence
