Could you please look if there are any Cowles in the probate records. Mine seem to have lived at Westerleigh, Frampton Cotterell, Coal Pit Heath and I think originally from Siston in the 1700's. As I am in Sheffield it is difficult for me to access the Glos. records that I need, if they are not on the internet.
thanks Carose

Gloucestershire Lookup Requests / COWLES in Siston
« on: Wednesday 31 March 10 15:25 BST (UK) »
I [think] have traced my Cowles ancestors back to Siston, to a William and Hannah Cowles. While their children are baptised there on the IGI, I cannot find or at least don't have access to any records from which I can find their marriage about 1787. Can anyone help please?
Thankyou,
Carose

Hi there, I am sorrry to say that I cannot see any connection between your Ada Cooper and mine. My Ada had the maiden name of Holbrook and have traced this family back a few generations.
My Ada Cooper was born illegitimately in 1885 and died in 1923 in Springwell House, a Doncaster workhouse. My late father in law [again illegitimate] never knew his mother Ada, as she left him and a sister Mary in Rotherham workhouse in 1916. I have found several children to this Ada, a couple to her husband Frederick Cooper. One of these, Thomas, died in 1909, but the first child Alice Holbrook Cooper, born 1906, I have found, only died as recently as 1995. It is sad to think that my father in law didn't know that he had a sister.
Ada had twins, after she left her husband. [illegitimate] One of them being Mary and one Florence. I know what happened to Mary but cannot find Florence. They were registered under two names Cooper and Stone in 1911. My father in law Ernest was born in 1913. Ada went on to have a son Joseph in 1917, but he died in 1924, after his mother.
I am now trying to find any information on Alice Holbrook Cooper and have written twice [with stamped addressed envelopes] to the home that Alice was in, to the lady who owned it and who was the informant on the death certificate. I also wrote to her at her home address, but unfortunately, she chooses not to reply to me.

Can anyone tell me which present day newsapaper covers the Doncaster area, Mexbrough in particular. I wondered if they have a contact column. In researching a relative, Ada Cooper, I have found several children born in different area's, from Swinton to Bradford, Denaby Main to Mexbrough before she finally died in the Doncaster workhouse in 1923. I don't think that any of the children knew of the existence of the others, being left in various places. The last child that she had was Joseph Cooper in 1917 in Mexbrough, and I am trying to trace any descendants, if he survived that is. Apart from his birth certificate, I have no other information as to what happened to him after his birth but wonder where he went to after her death. I recently found another sister Alice Holbrook Cooper born in Swinton in 1906 and she died as recently as 1995 in Huddersfield, which is quite sad, as my father in law Ernest Cooper, born in 1913 in Denaby, did not know of any of his siblings, in fact never knew his mother Ada, as she left him and his sister Mary Cooper/Stone in Rotherham workhouse in 1916. Also missing is Florence Cooper/Stone the twin of Mary born in Bradford in 1911. If anyone can help, please get in touch as I have been researching this for approx. 20 years and in the past few months, everything seems to be clicking into place.
I recently found an entry in the doncaster workhouse, when Ada went into there for a month in August 1913 before she went into Rotherham workhouse and Ernest is named as Ernest Scrimshaw Cooper,so was he the father, who is not named on the birth cert?
thank you

Thanks for that. Actually, just received his marriage cert and he is on the GRO as Daniel Hizzitt but no father on it unfortunately, although in the fathers occupation slot it says Farmer, so maybe he knew who his father was, but it doesn't help us.

I had just found the Naomi site and recorded those three but tried Family search putting in just ISI* and it didn't want to know. Just said you could use an apostrophe, dash etc but not a *. Will keep on looking
