James and Mary COOPER were from Gloucester. They moved around having first
a daughter ROSANNAH [1868 GLS] and AMELIA [1869 HEF]. In 1871 they were in
Blaenavon where their sons WILLIAM [1871]; JAMES [1873] and GEORGE [1875
were born. In 1877/8 they were in Llantarnam where their daughter Elizabeth
was born. In 1881 they were all living at Cwmnant, Llanvihangel, Llantarnam.
I assume that James and/or Mary died at Llantarnam. Can anybody help me to
confirm this please?
ROSANNAH COOPER married WILLIAM BURKE 08/03/1887 at Newport R.O. They were
both living at Cwmbran. They had a son JOHN. By 1892 she is widowed and
marries JAMES PARLOR at Trevethin parish church near Pontypool. From there
they moved to Panteg, where their daughter GERTRUDE and son WILLIAM were
born [1892 & 1896 respectively] and then on to Llantarnam where sons HARRY
and GEORGE 1899 & 1901.
William Burke [aka Jack] reputedly died of consumption and son John migrated
to Australia c. 1926.
If anyone has any connection or can help fill in when and where James Cooper
died and William Burke, please get in touch.
