I’m looking for a H. F. Cooper who once lived at Bruxby Str, The Fosse Syston, Leicester England.  I’d love to find info too on his wife.  He had a child born Sept 25, 1916 named Kathleen Cooper.  His other children are Dorthy, Doris, Harley and Eddy.  I’m new at this and was hoping someone that someone could guide me.

Thank you if you can!
Kathy

I would like to know his complete name (H. F Cooper, my Great Grandfather,) and his wife’s name.
This would help me find my blood living relatives.
H.F. Cooper’s wife passed away around the fall of 1916.  His wife gave birth to a Kathleen Cooper on Sept. 25, 1916.  Because H. F. Cooper already had 4 children and facing hard times, Kathleen was adopted by The Smith’s when she was only a month old and brought to Canada.  Kathleen is my Grandmother.
I just found this out from old letters I’ve inherited!  🤗
It would be interesting to see his gravesite and all.  I’m certain my Grandma (Kathleen) sibling’s had children and Grandchildren I’d love to meet.

It’s the information regarding their birth that you require for ordering their birth certificates from the site above,
It’s free to register and search, then you can order a PDF of the birth certificates (if you want to)

The children born before 1911, and the parents, will be on the 1911 census.
Rootschat rules mean I cannot look that up for you but it is available on ancestry.co.uk and FindMyPast
