Old Photo's Liverpool..COOPER

[redkop]

Hi,

not sure where to begin with this one, but, here goes.

I was given a bunch of old photo's by a friend. He had them for 40 yrs stuck in a draw.

Most of them have no identifying names or marks. But, a few hold some clues.

There are 2 with the address, 93 Spencer Street, Everton, Liverpool. Addressed to Mrs Cooper. (mother). 1910, and 1911.
Also, a POW card, sent to the same address from one of her sons, Edward Cooper. A Private., Reg: 1/10  K.L.R., Reg No: 355332. Dated 19th March 1918. POW Camp: Friedrichfeld.

There are a number of postcards from The Lake District, so there must be a connection here. And, quite a few with what looks like brothers photographed together in their uniforms.

There is an Arthur mentioned. Aged 4 and 10 months, at Christmas 1916. No surname. Could he be a 'Cooper' too ?
A couple have men in regimental kilts. One tartan, but one a plain kilt ?

Any information you can give me on this would be great. Or, point me in the right direction ?

Thanks,

It is very sad. They were found in an empty house. I would love to return them to their family.

btw, Spencer Street doesn't exist now.

There's a  very damaged service record on Ancestry for an Edward Kneale Cooper at that address.  Next of kin listed as Edward Cooper too.

It says his job is a Clerk at 'Films Ltd, Manchester St.'

Seems he went missing, and became a POW - those records are available too, I think. National Archive?

Ok, better details of his regiment further on

Thanks Ann.

I actually have the POW post card he sent to his mother.

I will go look on Ancestry.

Sorry reading as I go

POW in Minden.

I'll let you read the rest. Let me know if you don't find it - it's 30 odd pages long!
