4 other people on this site have Jonathan Cooper on their trees, have you contacted them?

Have you ordered their marriage certificate as this will tell you their father's names etc? GRO ref for ordering from freebmd:
Marriages Jun 1865 (>99%)
Cooper Jonathan Stow 4a 786
Pegg Rebecca Stow 4a 786

Jonathan's death cert may show where he was living at time of death (if he died at home) and a family member may have been the informant.

Have you found them on the censuses? They are on 1871, 1881, 1891 and 1901.

In 1861 it looks like Jonathan may have been married to a Caroline, his marriage cert to Rebecca should show if he was a widower. I can't find a corresponding marriage ref on freebmd.
