Greetings listers, I'm new to the list and hope someone out there can help me. I started my family history recently and it seems most of my father's relatives come from the Gippsland area. My paternal grandmother Vera May COOPER [1901-1985] was the daughter of George Astley COOPER [b. DuckPonds Vic, 1865] and Jessie HASTHORPE. Vera May COOPER married my future grandfather Clarence Alphonse GOODING [b. Tanjil 1890 - d. Perth 1975] in 1928. He was the son of William Charles GOODING and Marie Henrietta WUTTRICH [b.1863 Barrabool Hills - d. Tanjil 1945], daughter of Alphonse Leon WUTTRICH [arr Aust 1854]. The GOODINGs and HASTHORPEs are well covered in Settlers to Selectors by Joan Hasthorpe but I am keen to know more about the WUTTRICHs and if the COOPERs are known in the Gippsland area. I'll be in east Gippsland in December so will be able to chase down things if anyone has some leads for me to pursue.
