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.

My grandfather, John Hendon Samuel Cooper was born at 39 Acre Rd. Mitcham Croydon, Surrey, England to Samuel Thomas Cooper of Battersea and Maude Victoria Friday of Northfleet, Kent in 1907.  His Coopers originated from Halstead, Essex years before, but would there be a connection to the Romany Coopers in the Mitcham area during the time of his birth? I hope someone on this forum can answer my question.
