I think an Ancestor was Joseph Cooper from England. He may have lived in Port Hope, Durham East, Ontario. His wife may or may not have had red hair and called Birdy? He or His descendants may have worked with stone, or cement. They started a Cement Block Fabrication Plant which they called Cooper Block. There were two Plant sites: One in Etobicoke run by one brother named ? and the other plant was in Pickering, run by Ken Cooper and sons. Cooper Block was sold to Primeau block. Ken Cooper of Pickering married Helen Doner who died in 2003 aged 91. Helen Doner Cooper is buried in the Erskine Cemetery I think, in Pickering, Ontario. Any information on the descendants of Joseph Cooper, his wife and their ancestors, descendants, siblings would be appreciated. Ancestors, descendants, siblings etc. Cooper, Doner, Southam,
