1861 or earlier Lookup for COOPER Please

[Darren]

Can anyone help with any earlier information on the following family?

Here they are in the 1871 Census St. Augustine Street, Norwich in what looks like a 'Cigar Shop' (and Cigar Making was a family trade)


Benjaman Cooper   17    Norwich, St Clement   Son    St Augustine    Norfolk
Eliza Cooper   28    Norwich, St Martin's Church   Daughter    St Augustine    Norfolk
George Cooper   7    Norwich, St Augustine   Son    St Augustine    Norfolk
Robert Cooper   53    Norwich, St Augustine   Head    St Augustine    Norfolk
Robert Cooper   20    Norwich, St Augustine   Son    St Augustine    Norfolk
Sarah Cooper   53    Norwich, St Martin's Church   Wife    St Augustine    Norfolk
Sarah Cooper   14    Norwich, St Augustine   Daughter    St Augustine    Norfolk

RG10/1808 Folio 62 Page 15

Any info would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Hi found this on the 1851 will try on the 1861 for you aswell

Robert Cooper  Head  33   Cork Cutter   b. Norwich
Sarah  Cooper   Wife   33                                "
Eliza     Cooper   dau     8                                "
Robert  Cooper   son     4                                 "

Inside walls, St Augustine, Norwich.

HO/107/1812  folio 401 page 31   film  0207465

Be back in a bit. If you have some idea of Roberts parents I could try on the 1841 for you as it looks like he wouldn't have been married then. There are quite a few Cooper families in Norwich. All the best Anjo

Superb! Thanks.

Unfortunately I haven't got any names for the parents.

Thanks for your help.

Here they are in 1861

Now Robert juniors age could be explained by the 1851 entry said he was 4 but more likely he was 4mts It is a transcribed census and they often leave off mts.

Off to have a look at 1841 for you ok. Anjo

Sorry Darren no sign of any Robert Cooper in St Augustine.
If you ever find out more about his birth let me know and I will have another look for you ok. All the best Anjo
