Cooper Smith - died 1891

[genjen]

Hello,

I am trying to track down a lost member of my Smith family. Cooper Smith, born 1847, Sunderland Co. Durham, parents Thomas Smith and Sarah Cooper.

In 1861 he is still with his parents in the north-east but after that he disappears off the radar. Looking at marriages and deaths, there is a marriage for a Cooper Smith, in Docking, Norfolk, in ( Dec. 1889, Docking 4b 815)  and a death in Norwich, (Mar 1891  4B/131), with the age a few years out of line with mine but still just about possible.

I am wondering if there is anyone who could check these two records for me to see if there is any clue as to this man's origins. It's probably not my man but it would be good to get him out of the way!!

Many thanks,

Jen

Think we need the death certificate in hopes that it names his parents.

Please see the other thread mentioned in reply #5. I have posted a link to the certificate there.

Yes.

Pity about repeating work, pleased you stepped in JenB, to stop us looking further whilst waiting for Jen to get back.
