Hi Kay
Thanks for doing that for me that's the one I remembered Sarah it was some time ago now I'm reading the book called the last Tudor by Gregory any way dads relative has said from lady Jane grey and the Dudleys there's a connection to my mothers side some Lord or some thing have tryed to follow it but can't really make out what Susan is trying to tell me but now have found the follow up book called the Tudor secret there was a orphan child he's trying to find out about his family and were he fits in I'm thinking this is were my mums family come in .

Bwahahaha turns out I do know that farmhouse, it's near my house. it's now called Homebridge Farm and it is technically in Ellistown. The parish is Ibstock.
Your Joseph Cooper in 1901 is living at Billabarrow, not Bills Arrow..... Billabarra Lane as it is now called is just off the A511, not far from the Flying Horse pub/restaurant. I have been there many a time, as there is a Miner's Welfare Club down there and my O.H. is an ex-miner.
