Hi Colin I cannot see a connection yet? But I will send you a 7 generation descendants report off list from John Cooper 1709 downwards. It does include several Coopers who married at Thornton PC between 1810 to 1830. It may help with your researches. Of note at generation 4 is Marianne Nuttall nee Cooper 1817 - 1908 who's obituary in the Burton Chronicle at the time states that she was a Governess for many years to the children of the famous English novelist Charles John Huffam Dickens! I wish I could find more proof? Good luck with your search!
