There doesn't seem to be a marriage of Henry Abraham & Emily but the one that I posted of Henry & Elizabeth Evans seems to match the births that greyghost posted with mother's maiden name Evans.

Martha's parents' marriage?


Marriages Jun 1907 (>99%)

ABRAHAM Thomas Cockermouth 10b 1211
EDWARDS Elizabeth Ann Cockermouth 10b 1211

This seems to be Martha's parents in 1911. The surname on original is definitely Abraham.

Deaths Jun 1889 (>99%)
ABRAHAMS Emily 37 Todmorden 9a 153

I think the Coopers on the 1881 census are Emily's half brothers.


In the 1861 census she is living with the Cooper family as a boarder....

John Cooper Head M 33 ..., Lancashire
Mary Cooper Wife F 25 Heywood, Lancashire
John W Cooper Son M 10 Cliviger, Lancashire
Hartley E Cooper Son M 5 Cliviger, Lancashire
Charles H Cooper Son M 3 Cliviger, Lancashire
James C Cooper Son M 0 Cliviger, Lancashire
John Lomas Boarder M 14 Heywood, Lancashire
Emily Lomas Boarder F 8 Cliviger, Lancashire


The marriage for Mary to John Cooper....

Marriage: 6 Feb 1853 St John the Divine, Holme in Cliviger, Lancashire, England
John Cooper - Full age, Miner, Bachelor, Coalpit House
Mary Lomax - with leave, Weaver, Spinster, Plain Tree
Groom's Father: Robert Berry, Labourer
Bride's Father: Robert Lomax, Miner
Witness: Jeremiah Scholfield; John Brennand
Married by Banns by: J. Langfield
Register: Marriages 1839 - 1892, Page 53, Entry 105
Source: Original Parish Register

EDIT: No, she is Mary's sister, not daughter, so the Coopers in 1881 are her nephews.
