Would the Mitcham, Croydon Coopers ca. 1890 - 1907 be directly descended from the Halstead, Essex Coopers in other ways than my aforementioned connection? I wonder what prompted my great grandparents to move to Mitcham, Croydon if it were not to meet other family, albeit distant cousins perhaps? It seems ironic that they were there at the same time noted Cooper Travellers/Gipsies were in the area.
