As George's age varies so much, you need to get a copy of his marriage cert to confirm father's details

Hi,
I am trying to trace my maternal family tree. My mother Mabel Cooper b1918, her father was George Walter Cooper b1881, his father was also George, (Walter I think), Cooper b1833, his father was John Cooper c1796. The trail stops here, any help would be appreciated.
I followed someone else's tree by mistake for several generations and am now back to John.
I really want to go further back so I would appreciate any help.
Sheila
