Hi Carol, While I have nothing to connect me to your Albert, it is interesting that I have Ethel, Albert and Florence Cooper in Phila. in the 1900's.....their father (a master bricklayer) was George Cooper who after coming to States in mid 1800's, lived first with relatives in Columbia City, Pa. and then moved to Phila. (Roxborough section) at some time after marriage to Mary Ann Hurlston, also from England, and several of their children were born. I do not know where in England he came from. My mother, Elsie Priscilla, was the youngest of George and Mary Ann's large family. Might their be a connection? Thank you. mae kathleen
