1891. Reddal Hill. Rowley.
John Cooper 72. No occ, shown.
Maria Cooper 65.
Joseph Cooper 18. son Miner.
John Cooper 16. son. Labourer Pit.

I've not added this to BC tree but can if you like because I think it looks like the same Coopers although on the 1881 census the above John's occupation was labourer on sons marr cert he was a chainmaker.

Thanks for adding all that Annie


So do we think this could be mother and father for our Joseph Cooper?
if so we can add it
need a marriage for John Cooper and Maria ???

Occup is good for Joseph age is good
and he calls his dau Maria

what do we think?

we can archive this when that last bit sorted

I think it looks good Northern Lass every thing fits apart from Occupation on 1881 census which is labourer and not chainmaker, I will had it if you like and in between try and find a marriage for John and Maria..

Annie
