Title: Agnes Coope
Post by: jessmas on Saturday 28 April 18 16:46 BST (UK)

I am trying to find out any information on Agnes Coope before she married Henry Swift (1964-1947).

I think she was born in 1864 in Rotherham and died Dec 1941 in Rotherham.

I can find her in the 1901 Census as relation to head as wife and living in Chapeltown and Hesley Bar. The husband is not on the census but two daughters are that have different surnames.

Thanks in advance

George Coope dies December quarter 1901 - Wortley Registration District - aged 44.

Possible marriage - Rotherham Registration District - December 1897 - George Coope and Agnes Moxon appear on the same page.

The children all have mmn Goddard, so either Agnes was a Goddard or she was his second wife if she was a Moxon

1911 shows the family, with marriage between Henry and Agnes = 5 years, no children.  Then 5 children with surname Swift - aged 21 (married  daughter) to 7 years.

I think you possibly need to purchase the marriage certificate to have a clearer picture.

I think first wife was Kate Goddard who died Q3 1896 as Kate Coope, which would fit with George remarrying the following year.

A remote possibility:

Baptism - Thorpe Hesley - WRY

Agnes daughter of William (Miner) and Elizabeth Moxon - born 30 July 1863, baptised (with siblings) 23 September 1870.

Free search of 1939 has Agnes Swift born 1863, living with Henry also born 1863 in Rotherham.

Is this the Census 1901, entry that you are seeing? -

COOPE Agnes             36y   wife              b. Thorpe         Yorkshire
DRANSFIELD Edith      14y  daughter        b. Chapeltown
TROWELL  Fanny         11y  daughter        b. Ecclesfield

This is household #130, head of household
DRANSFIELD Joseph  62y  b. Wortley.

The image is not accessible so the arrangement of names etc. might be different to what the entry suggests.

Dransfield and Coope households are on consecutive pages not together, Coopes are schedule 126 at Elder Tree Cottage

And Fanny Trowell isn't with either family - she is at home with her parents = schedule 136  ::)

So we have the Coope family on page 22, Dransfield family on page 23 and Trowell family on page 24.
