Would anyone be able to help with finding the Father of James Cooper born 1835 in Wootton Bedfordshire. It seems that Wootton was a very small villiage at the time. I'm also searching for the marriage of James to Susan no surname at the moment I'm afraid. Their children are Frederick b. 1872, Jane b. 1874, Samuel b. 1877.
Thanks. Maureen.

I'm astonished!! Thank you so much to Jim and Glitter Babe! I've been going back and forth on Ancestry all day and couldn't find them. I'm helping a friend with his tree and I usually manage fine, [ I've added 82 people to his tree in 10 days] but this had me baffled. Thank you once again.
