You could also check his marriage certificate to see if a father's name and occupation are given.


I could only see one birth Cooper/Mullen and that was in 1948, Halifax??

Perhaps your mother-in-law wasn't actually married to this man.........hence the embargo on asking about him

Was he named on your husband's birth cert?

What surname was Kathleen using when her death was registered?

Do you have your husband's birth cert to confirm his mother's maiden name? she could have been married before. I am not finding any Cooper/Mullen births that would fit. When and where was you husband born?

Edit: and what was his name?

Stanley would have been my father-in law, he is porported to have died when my husband (also now deceased) was about 3 yrs old and living in London, the only information I was privvy to was that he was a landscape gardener from Glasgow and was told catorgorically not to ask questions.
My mother-in-law came from Omagh, County Tyrone - she also died in London.her DOB was 10th or 15th April 1910 (+/- 2 yrs)

Tracing my family tree was very easy and didn't need any more than the BMD and census records - found birth records for my husbands siblings in London area but no marriage or death record for Stanley.
Would be pleased with any direction or help for more advanced seach.

These are the only Stanley Cooper's born in Scotland between 1895 and 1915 see Stuart's post about using Scotlands People.

4 1914 COOPER STANLEY RUSSELL M CATHCART (LANARK) GLASGOW CITY/LANARK 633/0B 0357

Where did he live and die? How did you get back to him and where have you looked for a marriage for him and Kathleen?

You need the Scotlands People website for Scottish records £7 buys 30 credits
1 credit got the information below. For 5 credits you can look at all the info on the record within certain limits of time and download the record
Births 100 year ago, marriages 75years and deaths 50 years

The site can be manipulated - originally I asked for Stanley Cooper births 1900 =/- 5 years - only 1 showing. After that you can ask which county and eliminate that way.

Looking for information on Stanley Cooper from Glasgow born around 1900s
Married Kathleen Mullen (from Omagh, Co. Tyrone) died mid 1940's in London from TB.
I can find absolutely no details, and so suspect this is not strictly a true story but all I have to go on.
