Annie Selina Cooper

I'm trying to find some trace of the family of Annie Selina Cooper who was born in Alton, Hampshire on 30th March 1886. I know she had 3 brothers, Ted, Dick and Harry and 2 sisters Dolly and Florence. I can't find any trace of them in the 1911 census or the 1901, but I know from information an elderly aunt gave me, that Harry still lived in Alton as an old man.

I think she must have been one of the older ones, I've no idea when the others where born except I think Florence was the youngest. They both moved to Yorkshire with their families after the first world war, and Annie married an Ernest Ringe, Florence married a Fred Kent

Hi, thanks for that, It could have been 1887, I know she was 76 when she died in 1963, but as she died a month before her birthday I suppose she could have been only 75

Thanks, these answers are coming faster than I hoped, thanks/
I'm not sure if this could be her, as she always said her name was Annie, but I remember the name May from somewhere

I think this is the same person in 1891 I listed above - She may have been known as Annie but registered as Ann, however sadly the names don't tie in the brothers and sisters she should have so maybe it isn't her.

I take it back the 1901 record for the family minus Ann (who was working as a servant with another Cooper family) and the names seem to match. Dolly would probalbly be Dorothy
