WALTER GEORGE COOPER
was my father he died in jan 1976 in kings lynn, at the time he was married to my mother Patricia Ann Cooper , I am trying to piece together his movements before his move to kings lynn, I know he was in the RAF ( I was born at the RAF base in germany) so he and mum and me as a young child spent some time over there , I know he was based at RAF kinross and that my infant brother adrian died there and is buried somewhere in kinross I know dad had lived at Kinross in scotland and that there he was previously married to a lady with the name Elizabeth Marshallsey , they had 3 children denise , walter , and terry (we are still looking for terry who may have learning difficulties).

what confuses me is my dad was known as 'jock' he had a very very broad scottish accent BUT his birth certificate says he was born in Hampshire, his dad was called albert( I only met him once) I am also trying to find dads brother Raymond cooper who may or may not be still alive.

Does this sound familiar to you , are you the Terry from scotland (or his carer) are you a relative of Raymond Cooper brother of walter george .

can you fill in any of the gaps or explain why dad had a broad scottish accent but was born many many miles awayfrom scotland.
any info would be appreciated

This all sounds familiar - you requested this one before, didnt you? Did you manage to get his RAF papers as next of kin?

i have full contact with his wife, and children (with the exception of terry)re RAF papers.won't they tell us only what we already know.My mum is still alive and knows old addresses etc but seems to know or remember very little about 'jock' before she married him. We now know where the baby is buried . but as for extended family of george walter cooper IE where his siblings are /used to live etc. we are none the wiser.
