The farm you talk about wouldn't be old house lane would it if so I was told about that as well but didn't know any thing about the cow crushing him I have only been doing family history since mums father died in 1977 we came back here in 78 knocked her fathers bungalow Dow and rebuilt it I still miss my grandfather. He was my mate me and him walked for miles together he whent into mining at ellistown came back with black lung I come and stay with him I found out who he married but she passedaway and mum whent to live with my aunt Amy cooper and her husband Lewis Anderson mum married in 1960 her name is Linda Woolman now ( but cooper maiden name) her mother was Constance lily cooper ( deacon) born checketts road Leicester so it's great finding out more on mums family.
I was born 1964 March 14th I have two brothers and a sister but their not interested like me I always wanted to know where I came from I take after mum for being small my brothers are taller then me they take after dad ,sibby coopers sister would I be right saying she was Emma skechley ( cooper ) I was told she worked in a big house some where I think I Remeber her mother being Mary skechley  sibby came from wood house buddon wood school lane .id love to find out more on sibby cooper I have more of his boxing matches.i have a news paper as well any way if you could help me it would be appreciated very much to fill in some blanks were I don't know. If you know Markfield lane at all you would be made well come I have always wanted to meet people who knew my family my history means a lot to me I used to do metal detecting but had to give it up due to a spine problem I feel awful because of it I'm waiting to go to a clinic in June to see if it can be out right some days I feel ok then others I feel very low and wish I could end things I haven't any feeling in one leg I wish I could have the leg of .
