I have just started my family tree and I am trying to find details of Alice Cooper born 1893 in Rowley Regis Staffordshire England. Can anyone help?

You need to specify what details, and also what info you already have -- since you're looking for her, you know something! Parents, husband, children ...?

No point in people spending time "finding" things you already know.
