Hello,

I am seeking details of the birth of James S Cooper 1857 at Steeple, regards Jason

[Kay99]

I  can't see any birth/baptism for James on FreeBMD, FreeREG etc or James S on the census.   

You also mention the surname Bartlett.  How does this relate to James??

Link didnt work for me.

I presume James is the one who was a Hawker?
1871 in Cornwall born c 1859 Bridport, Dorset
1881 married to Sarah, living in Dorset, born c 1858 Dorset
1891 back in Cornwall born c 1858 Dorset, Mother BETSY born c 1818 Somerset there also
Havent found 1901 but last Census is born c 1859 Kilhampton, Cornwall

Do you have the M/C, I presume this is it;

Sept 1879,  Axminster 5b 27
James COOPER/Sarah ROBERTS only names on page.

Is there a typo in the opening post?
