Hi everyone, Is there SKS with the 1851 census for Whitehaven who could do me a lookup, please? ROBERT COOPER and wife ISABELLA. Afraid I don't know their dob. In 1856 they were living at 73 George Street, though that may not hold good for 1851, of course. Thanks in anticipation, Jennifer from Leeds.

Dear Jennifer, I have looked through the index of the four Whitehaven 1851 census books published by Cumbria FHS plus the adjacent Hensingham and Preston Quarter. There were very few Coopers and the only Robert I could find was living in Kelsick Lane, Whitehaven ROBERT COOPER, Head, Married, 48, Labourer, born Maryport SARAH COOPER, Wife, Married, 49, born Maryport JOHN COOPER, Son, 13, Scholar I presume this relates to the family who according to IGI had the following children baptised at Maryport of Robert and Sarah JANE 26 July 1829 SARAH 28 Aug 1831 ANN 4 Jan 1835 JOHN 22 April 1838 A SARAH COOPER died in Q3 1851 in Whitehaven Registration District according to Free BMD. There is no indication as to her age. I note, however, also from IGI that a ROBERT and ISABELLA COOPER had a son Samuel baptised 24 March 1850 at Whitehaven Holy Trinity. This appears to rule out a second marriage for the Robert above unless the baptism date has been wrongly recorded on IGI (as has been known). At 73 George Street in 1851 was living JAMES CALLANDER aged 50, Bookseller, born Dumfries with his wife and servant. This may not help in a positive fashion but at least gives the position in 1851.
