Hello from Brisbane Australia I have been researching the COOPER family from Barking Essex UK for some years now. I have recently discovered from another family researcher that one relative went to South Africa. I do not know where to start with research in South Africa, and am hoping someone can help. Emily COOPER b 5/5/1860 Barking Essex m (25/12/1882) Alfred YEOMAN b c1859 Isle of Wight, UK. Emily died 16/8/1944 1881 UK Census Alfred YEOMAN was Grocers Assistant, Broadway Grocer, Barking Essex. Emily was living with her father Joseph COOPER and nephew Henry COOPER at Axe St Elm Place, Barking where Joseph had the undertaking firm J Cooper & Son - which still exists and is owned by a family member. 1891 Census Alfred YEOMAN Head 31 - 1 Larman Villas, Barking Emily YEOMAN wife 30 Alfred YEOMAN son 7 William A YEOMAN brother 18 1901 Census No trace of Alfred's family could be found. Notes from a relative who recently died in Essex Emily & Alf had three children. Alfred went to South Africa and had Brian and a daughter. Elsie married a Will Stockley and had a son Jack who had twin boys, and Grace married a Wallie Laundon and had two sons. Laundon - Anthony, Brian, Clifford, Bertram Stockley Jack - Christopher, Geoffrey, Patrick I know this sound confusing but it is all I have. I do not know what years these notes refer to. I am hoping there is someone in South Africa who can help or is researching these names.
