United States of America / James, Ann & Maria Cooper in N.Y.
« on: Sunday 01 August 10 15:38 BST (UK) »
Hi all, I hope you can help me.
I have a James Cooper c1830, Ann c 1828 and Maria c 1861 and from Nottinghamshire, England are on the 1861 census in England, have a son Samuel in 1864, but dissapear before the next census in 1871.
In 1871 Samuel is living with relatives in Calverton Nottingham, and is my Great Grandfather, but of his sister and parents no trace.
Then I found on the 1880 census of N.Y.
318 Madison Street, Brooklyn in Kings County New York
James aged 51, Ann 52 and Maria 19.
However try as I might from the U.K. I can find no further evidence of them.
I wonder if you could help. Did Maria marry and have a family? Can you see them on other census? Any information would be much appreciated, although I guess I'll never know why they left Great grandad behind.
Thanks
Skewy.
