Find Ancestors

i am trying to find the death of my great grandad. His name is THOMAS COOPER and was born around 1864 in liverpool. He married Louisa Frankham and had 5 children. But after the last child george he just seem to have disappeared. I wonder if anyone can shed some light on him.

What was the date of last child's birth?

You could try getting the marriage certs of his children, to find out whether he is 'deceased'...........although that may not prove anything, as he might have been described thus simply because he'd abandoned the family (if he had)

so 5 children, eliza, maud, ?, ? and george
who were the other 2? that could help locate them in 1911

louisa and william
