  	Hi Paul & Pam Thanks for all the info. Most of my info has come from my father-in-law who has an amazing memory at the age of 91. I phoned him this morning to tell him of your email and he was so chuffed - he loves all the family tree stuff. When I first starting researching the Cooper side he was amazed as he could only remember his mother Sophia Louisa Cooper as having sisters Frances, Maus and Ethel and brother Albert. It turns out from the 1881 census that Frances and Sophia were from a family of 11 children! Sophia died at the age of 45 from bronchitis and my father-in-law was only 8 at the timely was right as he said John (who he always knew as Jack) was the gym instructor. He was also telling me that even the girls Olive and Ivy went to Royal Marine School. I do have a picture of Ivy (in a ballet dress) and one which I think is Olive in my possession. If you want copies please just ask and I'll gladly email. He remembers that Olive married Jimmy Fletcher, also in the marines and had a daughter he thinks called Virginia. He thinks they lived somewhere near Clevedon and had a shop selling seeds and garden stuff? He remembers Ivy having a daughter called Barbara who possibly was an interpreter, married a Dutch naval officer and lived in Belgium? Also when I read your notes I was surprised at the 1901 census results. It stated Arthur Charles as being a private in the R.N.L.I. I was thinking he was in the Lifeboat Institution. Before I even mentioned it to my father-in-law he told me that in those days the Marines were known as R.M.L.I. (Royal Marines Light Infantry) so maybe there was a spelling error? He vividly remembers Horace, Bert and Jack and says they were all 6 footers! The last time he saw Jack was during the war years outside his wifes family bakery by the dockyard in Plymouth. Thanks again for replying so quickly. It's sad to know that at my father-in-laws age time is running out and I am trying hard to gather information on his side so that he can share it. I wish I had done it before I lost my own Dad as he too would have been so interested. I never asked the questions I should have while my Dad was here so I've made sure I asked my Mum and my husbands Dad before its too late. Don't forget if you want the photos just ask.
