William Cooper of "Cooper's Cottage" Manchester

[jyotsc]

Hi John,
Just having a look at my old post. I have hit a brick wall with Eliza Cooper (1833-1899). Cannot find a birth or christening for Eliza Cooper. Her Australian death cert. states she was born 1833 Manchester and her father William Cooper and mother Sarah Jane. Have not located her in the 1841 census.
 As for Eliza whom at the age of 11 (ab. 1844) came to Australia with her brother William (I don't have any info about him, except oral history that he may have migrated to USA), I am assuming he must have been quite a bit older than her, I cannot find them on any ships.
Kind regards,
Jyotsana

Hi De,
Thomas Cooper who lived at Cooper's Cottage with his father John, was a Coach Maker, like his father.
I assume William Cooper 1739-1813 left The Cottage to John, who I am guessing was his brother.
Thomas must have taken on the cottage when his father died and he subsequently, went bankrupt in about 1814 and had to sell off many of his dwellings.
I have Thomas Cooper attending the Grammar School in 1775, when he was 12.
I don't think your Thomas Cooper is this one.
Kind regards
Jyotsana
