RE: Great Grandmother's Family Of William Cooper Master Boot Maker Hoyland Barnsley Are Are You Out There

Hi Everyone, I would just like to ask if there is any of my Great Grandmother Cooper's family out there who lived in either Kings street or at 98 Cherry Tree Street Hoyland Elsecar Bansley in the 1920's - early 30's anyone with census records relating to their family living in Cherry Tree Street.
I'm sorry but I can't find my Grandmother's maiden name.
Best wishes Richard Cooper.

PS I think in the end I will have to go up to God's country and knock on some door's hope you folk's don't mind

Hiya Richard
Don't build your hopes up I'm not a rellie lol I just don't like people talking to themselves. Allthough I did ask my cousin if you were related (she's married to a Cooper ) but you aren't sorry and your more than welcome to visit Gods own county.By the way which Grandmothers maiden name can't you find re your 1st posting Hilda Knight
Regards Carol

Hi Carol, Many thanks for getting back my problem is that I don't have my great grandmother's maiden name all I know is she lived at 115 Cherry Tree st Hoyland and her name was Mrs S Cooper.
My dad say's that he had a aunt Pemm Chetwyne and there's a lady in the address book of my grandmothers called L. Armitage who lived at 4 Green Field Rd Hoyland.
I have had a local search for William Cooper's shop in King St just around the corner from Cherry Tree st and he came back saying that there was no archive records of it in the 20's-30's .
My dad's mother Hilda Knight met William Cooper and the result was my Father that's all I have.
Regards Richard.

Hiya Richard
Just trying to get my facts straight so its Williams mum's maiden name your after is that correct in the post i was responding to you put Grandmother not Great Grandmother.
Back to the drawing board lol
Regards Carolanne

Hiya Richard
I'm hitting brick walls here I've found your fathers registration 1931 Oct 1/4 Barnsley mothers maiden name Knight.I think I've found Hilda in 1901 her parents Richard Henry Knight and Emma Elizabeth Knight nee Wood.The only marriage I can find for a Knight and a Cooper is
Hilda E Knight - George Cooper 1927 Apr 1/4 Birmingham North 6d - 917

I can't see a marriage for a William Cooper which you need for his fathers name to be able to go backwards to find the name your after.
Regards Carolanne

Hi Carolanne,
My Grandmother Hilda never married william. William died around 1934 when my dad was three years old.
Then Hilda and my father came back to warwickshire to live.
That's why there is no record fo marriage.
All I know is William my Grandfather is buried in Barnsley cemetary nr Hoyalnd that I do know and he was a Master boot maker ?

Best wishes many thanks for your help so far.
Richard

Me again lol
I've been looking in deaths and can see two in Barnsley in 1934

I can't see a William E Cooper in the 1901 or even a birth but I can see a Willie Cooper in 1901 age 3 so born around 1898.

Birth
Willie Cooper 1897 Barnsley Apr 1/4 9c 272 (possible)

Many thanks Carol you are doing a great job or should I say Sherlock

Hiya Richard
Your welcome

Hello Richard
I have just read about your efforts to search for Willie Cooper whilst doing a bit of family history research myself. My fathers side of the family came from Hoyland my grandmothers name was Lavinia Bowden (nee Cooper) and she had a sister called Maud, I do not know/recall the other family member names at present. I recall visiting both my grandmother and great grandmother as a child in around 1950. If this information is of interest I will keep you posted on my findings.
