Arthur Cooper
« on: Sunday 26 January 14 15:53 GMT (UK) »
Hi,I've hit a brick wall trying to find my Grandfather,his name is Arthur Cooper,in 1911 census it says he was born in Middlesex in 1884.He married Elizabeth Jane Harding in Gelligaer,South Wales in July 1907,and has his home address on the certificate as Prince of Wales regiment where he was a regular soldier.They went on to have five children but he disappeared in 1923,I have no birth address and don't know where he died.
Does this soldier ring any bells with anyone?

What happens in 1923 to say "he disappeared" ? 

He is a coal miner in Wales.  His father was William deceased by 1907.
