If this is his birth:-

Name: Joseph Whiting Cooper
Year of Registration: 1868
Quarter of Registration: Apr-May-Jun
District: Liverpool (1837-1934)
County: Lancashire
Volume: 8b
Page: 64

then this would be his marriage:-
Marriages Mar 1894 (>99%)
xxxx Cooper Joseph Whiting W. Derby 8b 770
FRANKHAM Eliza W. Derby 8b 770
GILLESPIE William Richmond W. Derby 8b 770
Wright Mary W. Derby 8b 770

which fits with the date given on 1911 census.
Also same reg. district!

Probably married Eliza (Elma?)

.............there is a birth that would fit:-
Births Mar 1874 (>99%)
Frankham Eliza W. Derby 8b 333


Two other births, after 1911, that would fit this marriage:-
Births Mar 1913 (>99%)
Cooper Margaret Frankham W.Derby 8b 1038
Births Mar 1914 (>99%)
COOPER Dorothy Frankham West Derby 8b 899


If you buy the birth cert. of one of the children in 1911 census:-
Births Mar 1911 (>99%)
Cooper Edna M W.Derby 8b 488
this will give you mother's maiden name which will confirm, or not, if this is the correct family.

Possible marriage for parents George and Jane:-

Marriages Dec 1858 (>99%)
Anderson Caroline Liverpool 8b 249
xxxx Cooper George Liverpool 8b 249
Reed John Liverpool 8b 249
xxxx Whiting Jane Liverpool 8b 249
Whiting John Liverpool 8b 249

which would seem to confirm birth of Joseph and his marriage.

If you know Thomas married and had five children could you share a few names please?

Catherine

Catherine Report 13 Jul 2010 16:08

There is a tree on ancestry that has Thomas married to Louisa Frankham:-

Marriages Sep 1897 (>99%)
Cannan Abraham Toxteth Park 8b 443
xxxx COOPER Thomas Toxteth Park 8b 443
xxxx Frankham Louisa Toxteth Park 8b 443
Jones Catherine Johnson Toxteth Park 8b 443

...........think it's safe to say that this is probably Elizabeth's sister?

hi catherine

Didn't know nothing abt a Albert Cooper. We haven't found anything after when georg was born and that in 1910 in liverpool. George william and louisa were all born in liverpool and all between 1901 and 1910. We have never come across the name albert until now. So wonder were abts he come from another mystery in the family i think.
