I'm trying to do a family tree. Very difficult as my Dad can't tell me much at all.

Trying to trace family line from:

George Henry Cooper :b: 1906
married in Q3 1927
Mary Elizabeth Henstock: b:1906

Sons from this marriage were:
George Henry; Barrie; James & Harold Stanley.

Joseph Henstock: b: 1852 c
Elizabeth or Millicent P Henstock b:1847
These people originated in Nottingham

Can anyone help?

Have you tried

www.ancestry.co.uk
1837online (http://www.1837online.com)
I hope I`ve done that right:loopy:

they are both very useful for searching bmd and census details

Friends reunited now do a Genes reunited to help with planning family trees....try it you may find it useful!!

Have registered with Genes reunited, done my family tree.

1837.com - registered
1901 census- registered.

It difficult because nobody can remember enough basic info on either side to even give me a starting point.

Have the Henstocks 1891 and 1861 if that helps
and Millicents family

I do not know the size of Henstock tribe know of one living on Skelwith Road Sheffield.

Hi, just found your request for information on Henstock Coopers. My father was Marys brother. There were five siblings, James (my father) Joe, Herbert, Mary and Millicent.

My father married Olive Waller and they had five sons,
Ron, Jim,Douglas,George and Dennis.

Hi! There. Sorry not been in touch, was away and not been on the computer.

Mary Coopers sons were my cousins on my Fathers side of the family. Which one of her sons was your father. I live at Ecclesfield, where do you live?
