Some other children of Leonard baptized at St. Francis, including a late one for son Leonard in 1907 (born 8 Aug 1885) Mother Harriett olim Humphreys

A note added about Sophia Cooper's marriage in 1919 to Thomas Leson in Kensington.

Sponsor/godmother on the baptisms of the girls in 1901 looks to be Ida Mary Keane.
Possibly she is the 34 year old lady in Kensington in 1901 who is lady superintendent of a home for females (four inmates, including a Mary Webb, 15)

So some of these children had two baptisms.
On his C of E baptism in Kensington, Leonard's date of birth was 18 July 1885.
Baptism was 2 August same year, so he wasn't born 8 August!

Possible school record in 1894 says born 2.8.1884

Another one who was baptized in 1901. Address for him is different, 16 Bangor Street (I think!)
COOPER, FREDERICK  JOHN     
Mother's maiden surname WEBB 
GRO Reference: 1899  S Quarter in KENSINGTON  Volume 01A  Page 136

Strangely, 16 Bangor Street was the address given for the Coopers when children Seth and Leonard were admitted to the Fulham Fever Hospital back in 1889 (5 Nov)

This is the thread about Harriet Humphreys, 1st wife to Leonard Cooper.

There is a death registration in 1888 Kensington, for a Harriett Cooper, age 39, which may be her.

I could not see a marriage to a Charlotte / Alice Webb. Maybe they did not marry, or might it have been a RC marriage not found online?

Roberts - Spry: (Cornwall, Middlesex & Queensland)
