Recently traced my roots back to Horringer and keen to learn more about the area and the families living there.
My family are the COOPER's - earliest I have ismy 6xGGrandfather John COOPER who married Mary GOLDSMITH 20/10/1762 in Horringer. They baptised 7 children including Ann COOPER 6 Jun 1773. She had two illegitimate children - Abraham ca 1789 and Mary ca 1804.
I believe Abraham was my 4xGGRandfather. He married Hannah CRACK in 1819 in Horringer. She died in 1845 and in the 1851 census Abraham is shown as a widiwer living in Horringer with his sons - Henry (28), William (24) and George (15) and his married daughter Harriet BASSETT (22) and her 3 daughters. His other children - Ann (1819), Thomas (1820), Henry (1822) I have been unable to trace.
Some time after 1851, but before 1861, George COOOPER moved to North London where he became a railway carman and married Susan DAVIS of Chiswick. Their first child, Frederick George, was born on 21 April 1861 at Perry Street, St Pancras.By 1881 the family had moved to 31 London Street, Islington where they remained until at least 1901, and Frederick George had married and was living with his family nearby in Islington.
Of George's brothers and sisters I know nothing but would love...
