William Cooper (1857-1941)

William Cooper.

William Cooper, (1857-1941 son of Richard Cooper and Hannah Bancroft) and Eleanor Evans (1857-1918 dau of George Evans and Ann White) married in Wales, moved to Australia and had five children who survived to adulthood.

They came on the Duke of Westminster which arrived in Moreton Bay, Brisbane, Queensland, on 6 July 1886. Eleanor would have been pregnant with their first child born in Australia; James Henry Cooper.

These are the Cooper children. The youngest, Winifred, is my paternal grandmother.
