    3. Hi Glenys My Coopers of J Cooper & Son Undertakers, were part of the Exclusive Brethren. I think they used to meet in a building in Linton Rd. Some of them left the church many years ago. My great grandfather George Cooper b 1847 migrated to Brisbane Australia in 1887 and then sponsored his nephew George Mills Cooper in 1911. Some of George's family members got out when they became so restrictive and forbid mixing with non-believers. However, George Mills Cooper has many descendents, mostly in Queensland, who are still members. A few younger ones have left the church. The Coopers lived in Axe St part of which was a carpark when I visited in 2004. Joseph Cooper owned many houses in Axe St. Regards Pam in Brisbane Australia
