Travelling People / COOPERS in Surrey area
« on: Thursday 19 May 11 02:55 BST (UK) »
Hello all,
In the past few weeks I've been looking into my family tree and have found an awful lot, however I'm running into some problems despite extensive use of Ancestry and FreeBMD.
I've always known I'm of traveller descent, and was wondering if anyone could shed some light on the Coopers that were in the Surrey area (especially Croydon). I think I've tracked my great grandmother as Lavinia Cooper (b. 1893-ish) who married a William Reading. As far as I can make out her mother was Amey/Elvinia Cooper (b. 1855) (both names seem to be used).
If anyone thinks they're connected I'd be interested to hear from you as I have a huge amount of information to share.
