Trying to find missing gt-uncle, Have two names Herbert Who was 5 in 1901 and Harry who was 22 in 1901. Intrested in Herbert .Only leads i have are sister sybil. Also speaking to my half-sister she said her mum spoke of sybils sister in law and that they were evacuated during 2nd world war and that they had twins ? . Believe harry may have been from previous marridge date unknown. My mum remembers dad cleaning out grans on her death finding paper refering to brother even dad knew nothing about.
This is a long shot but this site always seems to dig some answers out for me

Re: Harry and or Herbert Cooper

Hi there
Will the following help?
From Electoral Rolls
1912 at 25 Rookery Road
Harry Cooper (only elegible voters listed)
1918,1919 listed at 159 Rookery Road (Absent Voters List)
Herbert Rosson Cooper 145393, Spr., R.E. (Rosson comes from mother's maiden name)
1920,1922 listed at 159 Rookery Road
Herbert Rosson Cooper and Eliza Rosson Cooper
1925 listed at 700 Chester Road
Herbert Rosson Cooper
1927,1930 listed at 78 Davey Road
Herbert Rosson Cooper and Mabel Frances Cooper
1935,1939 listed at 12 Winchester Road
Herbert Rosson Cooper and Mabel Frances Cooper

Marriages Mar 1923
Herbert R Cooper married Mabel F Buttery Cooper Aston 6d 697
Births Sep 1895
Herbert Rosson Cooper W. Bromwich 6b 814
Births Sep 1895
Mabel Frances Buttery Lichfield 6b 501 (daughter of John Henry and Jenny Buttery)

Births Sep 1932
John B Cooper (mothers maiden name) Buttery Birmingham S. 6d 60
Kathleen M Cooper (mothers maiden name) Buttery Birmingham S. 6d 60

The family appear to have moved out of Birmingham after 1939 as I cannot see them on later Electoral Rolls.
Harry may have been born prior to the marriage? There were 3 Harry Coopers born 1878-1880 in Birmingham/Aston.
Marriages Jun 1890
Harry Cooper W. Bromwich 6b 1145
Eliza Rosson W. Bromwich 6b 1145
 
Re: Harry and or Herbert Cooper

Thanks, links are there Harry and Eliza are my gt - grandparents on my dads mums side, seems Herbert is the one i am looking for as for moving out of Birmingham after 1939 fits into tale that there were evacuated during the war possible with twins.
