Any descendants of James Cooper about?.....

Post by joette » Thu Jun 08, 2006 3:14 pm

I am looking for any descendants of James Cooper & Mary Bryce/Boyce
who married in Old Monklands July 1873.
I know they had at leas ttwo children James & Margaret Waddell Cooper
James had a son john Greenshields Cooper who signed his Father's Death Certificate in Coatbridge 1934
James was a Mason likes James senior who was the son of Ann Graham & James Cooper & the stepson of Alexander Waddell.
MyG Grandfather-the son of his youngest half-siblings named my Grandfather James Cooper Waddell but we always presumed that Mary was the Waddell who had married a Cooper.He is enumerated with the widowed Alexander Waddell & the other sibs in Dollar 1861 & is enumerated as James Waddell.
James Cooper aka Waddell was killed in an accident at work.The jib of a crane fractured his skull when he was repairing the Railway Bridge at Coatbridge in 1888. His younger brother Alexander Waddell was also killed in a railway accident when he died falling between the wheels of a train that he was the Goods Guard on in 1874.
I would love to know if there any living Cooper descendants around.
The other Waddell offspring produced no children so we are all that are left of Ann Graham's family.

Morning Joette

It's a pity no relatives have shown up yet. Have you been able to find out more about this lot?
