Hi Victoria -

I think I've found the family (minus Elizabeth) in 1841:

1841 census transcription details for: Dudley Street, Wolverhampton
National Archive Reference:
RG number: HO107 Piece: 1000 Book/Folio: 2/7 Page: 7

Reg. District: Wolverhampton & Seisdon
Sub District: Wolverhampton Western
Enum. District: Ecclesiastical District:
Parish: Wolverhampton City/Municipal Borough: Wolverhampton
Address: Dudley Street, Wolverhampton
County: Staffordshire

Name Relation Sex Age Birth Where Born

COOPER, William M 55 1786 Staffordshire
COOPER, Eliza F 50 1791 Staffordshire
COOPER, Thomas M 12 1829 Staffordshire
SMOUTH, Richard M 25 1816 (Lodger)


This would tally with the 1851, where Henry and ELizabeth are living (or staying) with mother Elizabeth Cooper and brother Thomas Cooper (born 1829). This is the only family I can find with a WIlliam as father, Eliz* as mother and Thomas as son. Which means Elizabeth was elsewhere on census night. Now to find her....

Oooh, don't you just LOVE being a detective??

YAYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!

Just found this:

1841 census transcription details for: Dudley Street, Wolverhampton
National Archive Reference:
RG number: HO107 Piece: 1000 Book/Folio: 2/9 Page: 11

Reg. District: Wolverhampton & Seisdon Sub District: Wolverhampton Western
Enum. District: Ecclesiastical District:
Parish: Wolverhampton City/Municipal Borough: Wolverhampton
Address: Dudley Street, Wolverhampton
County: Staffordshire

Name Relation Sex Age Birth Where Born
WILLIAMS, Mary F 60 1781 Staffordshire
WALFORD, Henry M 20 1821 Staffordshire

and on the actual census sheet , Henry is shown as being a Locksmith. Later on in the censuses he is shown as being a Blacksmith. Can't be a coincidence, surely? Please?

Now all I need is a marriage of some kind......
