I think that I might have stumbled across the family that could be ours - but there is no proof and only a "gut" feeling. See what you think.

I had always (with no logic) presumed that Thomas Cooper and Sarah Hellyer were young - ie born about 1780.

However, based on the fact that Thomas & Sarah had only 4 children that we know about, not the 10 - 12 as many of their contemporaries had, they could have been older when they married.

I have always been intrigued with the parallels in the lives of a William Varlo Hellyer, Solicitor, and Frederick Hellyer Cooper and thought there must be a connection some where.

William Varlo Hellyer was christened at St Mary's Portsea on 29 Mary 1797, was married at St George's Hanover Square on19 January 1818, and their first child was christened at St Luke's Chelsea on 7 December 1820.

Frederick Hellyer Cooper was christened at Droxford on 3 June 1800, (as you know his parents were married at St Mary's Portsea), he was married at St George's Hanover Square on 22 February 1819, and their first child was christened at St Luke's Chelsea on 16 August 1820.

As you know, one of the sponsor at Frederick Hellyer Cooper's christening was an Elizabeth Cooper, who must be a connection somehow.

I have found a family of Hellyers - Father William Hellyer and mother Elizabeth Cleverly (or Cleaverly) who married in Portchester on 4 January 1762.

Their children are: Unknown female Hellyer, christened Portchester 5 September 1762. }

All this information is from Batch C062151Christenings of John Hellyer, christened Portchester 27 May 1764} the Parish of Portchester, Hampshire.

Sarah Hellyer, christened Portchester 23 January 1766}

Philip Hellyer, christened Portchester 20 December 1767}

John Hellyer, above, is the father of William Varlo Hellyer - so if this Sarah Hellyer is "ours" William Varlo and Frederick would have been cousins.

Sarah would have been 33 years old at the time of her marriage, and 40 years old at the time of the birth of Elisabeth Jane Cooper in 1806.

[NB - an email received in 2008 precludes the above being "our" Sarah!

Subject: Hellyer in Portchester

Hi Graham,

I found your web page by Googling. I thought you may be interested in the fact that I have the will of John Cleverly yeoman of Portchester, Sarah Hellyer's uncle, the brother of her mother Elizabeth. (Hampshire RO reference: 1792B07). The will was written 29 Dec 1791 and mentions:

Nephews: John and Phillip Hellyer

Nieces: Mary Hellyer

Sarah the wife of John Stint of Bourn in the County of Sussex, bricklayer

Nancy the wife of Mr Pain of Emsworth, Mariner.

I also have the wills of John's parents, William Cleverly and Elizabeth Cleverly (nee Langford).

William Hellyer witnessed William Cleverly's will on 6 Oct 1761 (not yet married to Elizabeth Cleverly).

Elizabeth Hellyer (wife of William and eldest daughter of William and Elizabeth Cleverly) was married to William Hellyer at the time her mother wrote her will (30 Dec 1777) but a widow at the time of the granting of probate on her mother's will (24 Sep 1781)

Hope that helps a little,

Dasha" ]

Among the many Thomas Coopers, there are some possibilities as well, but which one is any one's guess! There is some 8 children christened at St Mary's Portsea with the father's name given as John Cooper, (no mother's name listed in the Parish records) born between 1754 and 1761 - obviously all cannot be from the one family!!

They are:

Betty Cooper, christened 13 January 1754

Thomas Cooper, christened 18 May 1755

Elizabeth Cooper, christened 1 July 1755

John Cooper, christened 15 August 1756

Thomas Cooper, christened 19 September 1756

George Cooper, christened 27 November 1757

William Cooper, christened 25 December 1757

Molly Cooper christened 11 January 1761

Just may be, those in red, are "ours" and perhaps either George or William.

However if this is our Thomas Cooper, it rules out any connection with the Tho. Cooper who signed all those Census sheets in 1841 - he would have been about 85 year old!!!

There are some other Coopers in Broughton, father Thomas Cooper, mother Sarah Thomas Cooper, christened 7 May 1761

Mary Cooper, christened 17 April 1763

William Cooper, christened 4 January 1765

Elizabeth Cooper, christened 23 December 1768

Robert Cooper, christened 23 December 1768

Then there is another Thomas Cooper, but no sister Elizabeth - again father Thomas Cooper, mother Sarah, all christened at Portchester (same as the Hellyers)

Thomas Cooper, christened 21 February 1768

John Cooper, christened 21 September 1770

William Cooper, christened 15 September 1772.

I have just had a horrible thought - may be Elizabeth Cooper is a sister-in-law - although you would think that the brother would also be included, if this was the case rather than William Augustus Bettesworth and John Prior.

(Incidentally, did you know that a William Augustus Bettesworth was christened at St Mary's in Portsea in 1736. There is also a John Prior christened there in 1767!).

I don't know about these Coopers, but I feel that there may definitely be something in the Hellyer and Portchester connection above.

I think this lot is definitely in the same league as the Maynes in Ireland.

Best left alone!!!

Born bef 3 Jun 1800, Droxford, Hampshire. Christened 3 Jun 1800, Droxford, Hampshire. ⁸ Marr Lucy Harrison HARVEY 2 Feb 1819, London, Middlesex. ⁹ St George's, Hanover Square, London. Died 24 Dec 1866, Camberwell Workhouse. ^10,11 Havil Street, Camberwell, Surrey. Cause: Heart disease and Bronchitis Certified.

The photo shows the exterior of St George's Hanover Square where Lucy and Frederick were married.

Baptized in the presence of the following sponsors:

Wm. Augustus Butterworth (or Bettesworth), John Prior, and Elizabeth Cooper.

Was the latter a sister or other relative of Thomas?

[Hampshire Record Office: Microfilm of Droxford ParishRegisters M34/PR3 - CMB 1732-1812]

Married in the presence of George Morris and Parnell Ewin.

In the 1841 Census Frederick and Lucy and their chidren are living at 4 Albion Cottages, Havil Street, Camberwell.

Email from Ainslie Sharpe:

I have been searching for Thomas Cooper (still) and now that the IGI is on the internet and I can spend even more fruitless time.

However, among the many Thomas's is one who is the son of John & Sarah Cooper.

Just deciding which John and which Sarah is a real treat as there were many of them, but a John Cooper married a Sarah Chambers on 15 December 1776 at Strathfield Saye.

Someone submitted their family research to the IGI in which the same marriage was referred to as "of Sherborne St John, Hampshire, England".

Frederick Hellyer Cooper at the christening of his sons Frederick H. and Charles George Harvey Cooper on 15/6/1828, stated his occupation as Coal Merchant.

Now there was a Coal Merchant in the Newington area called John Cooper. I found him in the Piggot's Commercial Directory for Surrey about1831, and I also found him in the 1841 Census.

This John Cooper married Charlotte Smith on 18 November 1818 at Sherborne St John.

He was also christened there in 1797. (Shown as 45 at the 1841 Census).

He was the child of William Cooper and Ann Alderslade who were married at Bramley,Hampshire, but all their children were christened at Sherborne St John.(Mary 1784, William 1787, James 1790, Sarah 1792, George 1795, John 1797, Thomas 1801, David 1804 and Daniel 1807.

I always thought that perhaps Frederick H. worked for sometime with this John Cooper, Coal Merchant - perhaps a relation? All supposition, but maybe!

The children of John & Sarah Chambers were Thomas (born 1779), christened 1780 at 6 months (perhaps ours?),

William c 1785,

Richard c 1789,

George c 1791 - all at St Mary's Portsea.

There was a John Cooper, son of John Cooper and Elizabeth Stone, christened at Sherborne St John in 1752.

Other children of the family were Thomas c 1746,

Elizabeth c 1747,

David c 1748, all christened at Sherborne St John.

I wish we could find out how old Thomas and Sarah Hellyer were when they got married - it would help a lot!

Most people were older than 19 and 15 (if she is the daughter of William Hellyer and Jane Knight of Porchester) when they married, but then Frederick H. was only 19 when he married in 1819.

Dear Graham

I found this reference to the Camberwell Workhouse (it was in Havil

Street!!). Maybe when a miracle occurs you might be able to find time to

have a look!!

Historical Manuscript Commission

National Register of Archives

1837-1869 : admission and discharge registers

London Metropolitan Archives

Reference : CA/BG

NRA 13138 Camberwell BG

Also:

The web site below tells about the Camberwell workhouse, and it says that

"Havil Street

The oldest workhouse buildings at Havil Street were erected in about 1818. Over the years, the site became increasingly important as a hospital. In 1873 a large new infirmary was erected at the north of the site, at the junction with Brunswick Road. Its central administrative block was five storeys high and contained offices, staff accommodation, and special wards. To each side were three storey wings, for men at the north, and women at the south."

So that would explain why he was there!! Not destitute, but very sick!

Ainslie Sharpe has constructed the following:

I have worked out the time line for FHC Senior with regard to his occupation and residence

· 1820 - clerk - when his first daughter Charlotte Caroline was born; the family was living at Sidney Place, Chelsea, Middlesex.

· 1828 - coal merchant - when his two sons, Frederick and Charles, were christened; the family was now living at Seymour Street, in Walworth.

· 1831 - gentleman - when his daughter Sarah Ann was born, and their address was still Seymour Street, Walworth

· 1841 - vestry clerk - in the census; the family had moved to Albion Cottages, Havil Street, Camberwell, Surrey.

· 1842 - vestry clerk - when his son Sydney Thomas died from typhus and measles. The family was still living at Albion Cottages.

· 1844 - gentleman - when his daughter Charlotte Caroline was married.

· 1847 - solicitors' clerk - when his son Frederick Hellyer was married.

· 1848 - clerk - when he was [possibly - we're not sure yet - 2007!!!] charged with embezzlement as a servant! Thankfully, He was acquitted! ** (presuming it was Senior not junior)

· 1849 - clerk - when Charles was charged with burglary. Frederick's address in the prison records is given as 2 Hanover Place, Old Kent Road, Camberwell (which incidentally, was Frederick's brother Alfred Cooper's address in the 1851 Census.)

· 1851 - clerk/unemployed - in the Census. Frederick and Lucy, along with their 21 year old daughter, Sarah Ann, (employed as a needlewoman) and their 11 year old student son, Thomas Harvey were living now at 7 Chandlers Place, Camberwell, Surrey.

· 1855 - house agent - when his wife, Lucy died of encephalitis. Their address was given as 6 Paradise Road, Rotherhithe, Surrey, on the death certificate.

· 1859 - gentleman - when his son Thomas Harvey Cooper married

· 1861 - debt and rent collector - in the census. He was now a widower and was living as a lodger with a young wheelwright and blacksmith and his family in 14 Prospect Place on Old Kent Road, Camberwell.

The following court case transcript actually refers to a Frederick Hellyar Cooper. We atre not clear if it is the father or the son.

From Court Transcripts of the Old Bailey, February 28th 1848.

No. 870: JOHN HURTON, was indicted for embezzlement.

Mr Dearsley conducted the Prosecution

John Marvin: Messrs. Rankin and Co. are my solicitors. On 15th Dec.1846, I paid into the firm 2£.8s.7d - I received a receipt - this is it - I cannot say who gave it me.

Charles Rankin Vickerman. I am a partner in the house of Rankin and Vickerman. The prisoner was our clerk in Dec., 1846 - on the receipt of money, it was his duty to enter it in the cash receipt-book, and pay it in to the banker's - the book is here - on the 16th Dec, 1846, here is no entry of 2£.8s.7d, nor since - this receipt is the prisoner's writing.

Cross-examined by Mr. Ballantine. Q. Was the prisoner employed in any other way? A. No - he left our employ before we were aware of this - he had no private work to do for me - he may have bought little things when I was going into the country - we have about fifteen or sixteen clerks always engaged - if a clerk had signed a receipt, when he had not received the money, it would be contrary to rule - if he had received this, he should pay it into the banker's unless it was very late.

John Marvin. I am clerk at Messrs. Hoare's the bankers. On 16th Dec. 1846, 100£ was paid into our house on account of Messrs. Rankin by Mr. Charles Primm - there is no such sum as 2£.8s.7d in my book - I cannot answere to any other day.

GUILTY

No. 871. JOHN HURTON, was again indicted for embezzlement 6£.16s.6d., also, stealing 8£. 4s.; the monies of Charles Rankin and another, his masters to both of which he pleaded

Guilty. Aged 30. - Recommended to mercy by the Prosecutor - Confined Six Month

No. 872. FREDERICK DANIEL COOPER, embezzlement

Mr Dearsley conducted the Prosecution

John Begeant. I live at Richmond, in Surrey. On 18th Jan. I paid the prisoner 3£.10s., at Mr Rankin's office - this is the receipt I got.

Cross-examined by Mr. Duncan. Q. You were tenant to some clients of these gentleman? A. Yes - I paid one quarter's rent, at 14£ due at Michaelmas - if I had paid the whole it would have been 7£.

Augustus Bury. On 19th Jan. I paid the prisoner 11£.10s. - I received this memorandum for it.

Cross-examined. Q. You were also tenant to some clients of these gentlemen? A. Yes - the rent of my house is 90£ a year - the prisoner called on me, and received 11£.10s., and I told him I would call on the following Monday, and pay the remainder of the quarter's rent.

Charles Rankin Vickerman. I am one of the firm of Rankin and Vickerman. The prisoner was in our service in Jan. - on his receiving these two sums his duty was to have made a short memorandum in the book, and have handed the money to our cashier - the memorandum has not been made.

Cross-examined: Q. Who was your cashier on 18th Jan.? A. Mr. Walker - he has been our cashier since the beginning of this year - Mr. Hurton preceded him, - I think it was in the early part of Feb. that I was first aware that these two sums had not been accounted for - to the best of my recollection Mr. Johns first informed me of it - I said he had better ascertain to what extent it had gone, and let me know - he afterwards told me the prisoner had made up a story of his having been robbed of this money, and that he had produced a portion of a bank-note, stating that the other part had been forcibly taken from him - I do not recollect that he told me Cooper had directed him to come and tell his master - I am not aware that the prisoner used to make disbursements for the office - it was not his duty - an account for stamps was shown to me - I did not admit it; I expressed surprise, because we generally have a stock of them in the office.

James Walker. I am cashier in the house of Messrs. Rankin and Co. On 18th and 19th Jan. The prisoner did not account to me for 3£.10s. or 11£.10s., nor has he since he said he was unwell, left for a few days, and never returned.

Cross-examined: Q. You have been cashier a short time? A. Yes - I commenced this year - it is the duty of the persons who receive money to make a return of it to me - I am not aware that if they receive a moiety they keep it till they have received the whole - it was not the collector's custom to keep what they had by them for a day or two till the persons paid the remainder - I cannot swear that it was not sometimes done.

Francis Morris (policeman, T 70). I took the prisoner in Feb - I told him it was on a charge of embezzling several sums, to the amount of 15£ of his employers - he said "No., it is not so much as that" - he said he intended to go to the office tomorrow to explain it, and if that was not sufficient to give himself up.

Thomas Johns: I am managing-clerk in the house of Rankin and Co. The prisoner has been clerk there some time - Hurton lodged in my house - he was cashier up to about 1st. Jan - the prisoner was appointed to collect rent of a house eight or nine months ago - he came to me on 1st Feb and said that Hurton's account were very imperfect - I do not recollect that he had come to me before that - I said "Go to him about it" - I believe I was present on 18th Jan - I remember Mr Begeant coming to pay some rent - I think the prisoner asked me if I would take it - I said "No, I shall not take it; it is not part of my duty to take money" - I said he had better take it - Hurton was at home ill then, and I think he was cashier till the time he left, about 27th or 28th Jan. - I do not remember Mr. Burt coming to pay his rent - I remember the prisoner saying about a week after he left the office, that Mr. Burt had come to pay his rent and he had 14£.10s from him- he did not say that on 19th Jan - I did not know for nearly a week that he had received that money - I do not remember the firm being very pressing about Watt's rent - I have nothing to do with the cash payments - I think the prisoner left about the beginning of Feb. - he never wrote to me - he came to my house, I think on the evening of 8th Feb, more like a mad man than a sane man - he said he had received some money, and had been robbed - he produced a portion of a 5£ note - the number had been torn off - he wished me to acquaint the firm - I said, of course if he wished it I must do it - I told him about the beginning of Feb. that the firm desired Oliver's account to be made up - I was directed to make out the bill of costs - I told Walker I was going to make out the bill, and the prisoner came to me with a bit of paper in his hand, and said there was something wrong about it with Hurton - I told him to go to him about it.

Charles George Harvey Cooper is our own CONVICT!

He was sentenced at the Old Bailey for ten years for burglary.

He spent time at Portland Prison, Dorset, Pentonville and Millbank, from whence he was transported to Perth, Australia.

These are his details as a prisoner:

Prisoner 2949 Chas. Cooper, age 23, weight 9 stone 3 lbs.

received from Millbank on 5 March 1850.

He was single with no children.

Father: FREDk Cooper, Clerk, of 2 Hanover Place, Old Kent Road (Incidently that is Alfred Cooper’s 1851 Census address!)

Chas’s occupation: Solicitors’ Clerk

Good character (!!)

Tried 17 December 1849.

Tried at Central Criminal Courts

On the second page

Crime – Burglary

Sentence 10 years

BUT NO OTHER CONVICITONS!!!

Conduct in Pentonville – good

Places and period of separate confinement – Millbank for 1 .18 months

Discharged on 27 January 1851 to Portland.

As his Great Grand-daughter, Ainslie commented:

Chas. Cooper, Prisoner 2849, Convict No. 2779, is also the eminently respectable Charles George Harvey Cooper – clerk to the Advocate General, and Senior Law Clerk to Stone and Burt!!

Upon our rather exciting discovery, Ainslie has written:

Charles George Harvey Cooper

Born 17 December 1827 in Walworth, Surrey, England

Died 26 December 1886, Perth, Western Australia

Whatever drove him to commit the crime of burglary for which he was charged,

or whether indeed, he was not guilty of the crime,

he overcame the disgrace, degradation and desperation

of a sentence of 10 years transportation over the seas.

He endured the indignities and deprivations

of the penal system which frequently broke a lesser man

to establish himself as a highly esteemed member of society

with strong ties to the Wesleyan Church,

the Working Men's Institute, and Temperance Union.

He held a position of responsibility and

with his wife raised a family who were also highly regarded

members of the community of Western Australia.

In his obituary in the "Daily News" of December 28th 1886

the following words are included

"His memory will be cherished by every person

with whom he came in contact."

Would that we all deserved this epitaph.

I am not ashamed of the "convict stain", but so very proud, to have an ancestor

who had this amazing strength of character and ability

to triumph over such tremendous adversities.

Charles, I salute you!

213. WILLIAM RHODES and CHARLES COOPER, burglariously breaking

and entering the dwelling-house of George Mence, with intent to steal.—2nd

Count, for burglariously breaking out of the said dwelling-house—Other

Counts, stating it to be the dwelling-house of Thomas Grueber and others.

Mr Ballantine conducted the prosecution.

Thomas Grueber.

I am a partner in the firm of Dodd, Grueber and Howsell,

solicitors, of 5, Billiter-street—we are the lessees of the house, and underlet

the ground-floor to the London General Pension Society—we occupy the first

floor, part of the second, and an office at the back of the house. The prisoner

Cooper was formerly in our service; I think he came in 1842, and was dis-

charged about twelve months ago—I did not sleep in the house—Mr. Mence,

to whom we let the upper part, does—the house is in the parish of St. Cath-

erine Cree—on Thursday, 6th Dec., I left the office at half-past two o’clock—I

went again about ten next morning, and was then told that the prisoners

were in custody—I examined the premises, and found the door into the clerk’s

office had been broken open—in the second desk in that office, belonging to

one of our confidential clerks, was kept the key of the iron sage and cash-

box—the cash-box was kept in the safe—Cooper would know that—I saw

marks on the desk which corresponded with a jemmy that was shown me by

the police—the other desk was not tried at all—I examined a closet under the

stairs, and found a quantity of torn envelopes and papers there– the cupboard

was large enough to hold two persons, if they wanted to conceal themselves—

there was a little bit of string inside—I examined the staircase, and found

that the persons got into the cupboard by putting their feet on a leaden water-

pipe which runs along there.

Cross examined by Mr Clarkson.

Q. Did you find anything denoting anybody had got into the closet by means of the pipe?

A. The pipe bore foot-marks—any persons could get into the cupboard without any difficulty from

that pipe—it comes nearly flush with the door—the inner door is never open

in the day time, unless anybody leaves it open on coming in—the outer one is

always open– no one belonging to the firm sleeps in the house—there was no

breaking of the outer door– there is no door for Mr. Mence; the same door

leads to all the floors– the clerk’s office door on the first floor was broken

open– after the clerks leave, the housekeeper locks up; she is not here.

Mr Ballantine.

Q. There is an outer door and then an inner door leading to the chambers in the house?

A. Yes, the cupboard is on the staircase—I left two of the clerks there, to the best of my recollection, on 6th Dec.—the of-

fice door was broken—the policeman produced an instrument to me which fit-

ted it—it was quite clear the door had been broken open.

George Mence.

I am secretary to the London General Pension Society

and occupy portion of 5, Billiter-street, a tenant to Messrs. Dodds and Co.

The Pension Society occupies the ground-floor, and I occupy a part of the sec-

ond, and the whole of the upper part. On 6th Dec. I went to bed at twenty

minutes to one o’clock in the morning—the house was then quite safe– the in-

ner office door was closed– about half past two in the morning, I was awoke

by a loud noise which appeared to come from the first floor– I lighted a can-

dle, and went out to the landing, and called to my servants; I thought the

noise came from them—I called out very loud; I awoke them; they answered

so as to convince me that they were not the cause of the noise—I then called

out “Take care; there are persons in the house who ought not to be, “ and I

called out very loud indeed twice, “ I am coming down; I am coming down” -I

then ran to the bed-room window in front of the house, and shouted “Police!”

as loud as I could—I then heard what appeared to me to be the street door

open, and I saw two men run from it towards the top of the street; one ap-

peared to run from the house, and the other to run under the eave of the

house—I was only able to see them, not to identify them—I observed the one

who ran on the other side had a lighter coat than the other—when I went

down stairs I found the front room first floor door lock forcibly broken—that

was the door I had seen safe at half-past twelve– part of the wood was splin-

tered, and the bolt of the lock remained as if locked—when I went round the

house, the cupboard was shut, and after the alarm it was open—when I went

down, I let in the policeman.

Cooper.

Q. How many times did you call “Police”?

A. I should say at least a dozen times—the police came before I had called half-a-dozen times.

Cross examined.

Do you mean to swear you heard the opening and shutting of the door?

A. I do not—I did not see any one in the house—the outer

door is open during the day, except on Sundays—I have nothing to do with

Messrs. Dodd’s office.

Mr. Ballantine.

Q. Was the outer door open or shut when you went to

bed.

A. Shut, and the private staircase door, and also the door which was af-

terwards broken.

John Smith (City-policeman, 611).

On Friday morning, 7th Dec., I was

on duty in Leadenhall-street, and at a quarter to three heard a cry of “Police!”

from 5, Billiter-street-I ran towards the house, and when I came within sight

of it, I saw the two prisoners rush out from the door of No. 5—they stood for a

few seconds until I crossed near them, and Cooper went to the opposite side—

Rhodes stood still—I thought to secure him, and he made a side bounce out of

the centre, and they both started off towards Leadenhall-street—there is a

gas-light over the house-door—I have not the shadow of a doubt that they are

the persons—I tried to catch both, and called “Stop thief?” -I met Sergeant

Tregaskis at Leadenhall-Street, and the prisoners were secured—I saw Rho-

des taken; I am sure he is the person—I saw Cooper at the station after-

wards—I searched Rhodes, and found on him a box of lucifers, a file, a bunch

of small keys, a George the Second coin, a little bottle containing oil—I knew

Cooper directly he was brought in.

Cross examined.

Q. Was it dark?

A. No; the gas-lamp gave sufficient light for me to see them—it is not a foot from the door it is my belief that

they rushed from the house, from the rush that they came from the door — I

lost them both—Rhodes was secured in less than three minutes—I had never

seen him before to my knowledge—I did not run on my bull’s eye, there was

no need—I was within three yards of the door, when they started off—when I

first saw the rush, I was fifteen or not more than twenty yards from it.

Mr. Ballantine.

Q. Whether you saw them come out of the house or not, are you sure you saw them come from the door?

A. Yes; if they were standing at the door, they could not have come with such force as they did—

the lamp enabled me to see very well.

Cooper.

Q. You say I was crossing towards Leadenhall-Street?

A. As you got down to Leadenhall-street the sergeant approached you—you made an at-

tempt to run up towards Aldgate pump, and then you came round again, and

he pursued you—I took notice of you, for I followed, and you had on a dark

brown or green coat; I will not swear exactly to the colour.

William Burgess (City-policeman 670).

I heard a cry of “Police!” and

took Rhodes—he was concealing himself in a dark gateway—he said, “ What

do you take me for?” -I said, “Wait until the other officer comes up, and you

will see” -he was taken to the station and searched.

William Pickering Tregaskis (City police-sergeant, 48).

On 7th Dec.,

about a quarter to three o’clock, I was near to Billiter-Street, heard of cry of

“Police!” and ran to the corner of that street—I saw Smith in the act of stop-

ping two men—I observed those two men, but was not hear enough to see

their faces—I saw one of them get away—he made a feint as if to go down

Leadenhall-street towards Aldgate-pump– I ran across thinking to taking him

before he got into Leadenhall-Street, and he made a curve and ran towards

St. Mary Axe into Lime-street—just after he had passed Leadenhall-place, I

observed by the motion of his body that he threw something away, and heard

something—he was stopped by Chambers, and it was the prisoner Cooper—I

went back and searched, with another constable, and he said, just before me,

“Here it is, sergeant”, and picked up a dark lanthorn—it was quite warm-this

jemmy and chisel were given me by a boy—about three o’clock. I went to 5

Billiter-street, and fitted it—there were marks on the desk made by it, and on

the door, and on this piece of wood which I have brought away—the door ap-

pears to have been broken from the outside—if a person had been concealed

in the cupboard, he would have got to the inner door by coming out of the cup-

board, and going up one flight of stairs on to the first-floor—I have been in

the police nine years—oil and lucifers are things persons would use in trans-

actions of this kind—I found neither lucifers or oil on Cooper—Cooper’s cat

was covered with line, so as to give it a light appearance—the cupboard bore

marks of having been rubbed against, and on the paper in the cupboard there

were visible marks of the seats of two persons, and their shoes bore marks of

having been rubbed against, and on the paper in the cupboard there were

visible marks of whitewash—in the morning, I examined about a handful of

dust which had been swept up, and among it I found two matches which ex-

actly corresponded with those I found on Pillips (1) -I have them here—there

were no matches in the house of the kind.

Charles Chambers (City policeman, 523).

I took Cooper into custody

and found these skeleton keys (produced) in his pocket—they are regular

skeleton keys.

Mr. Clarkson submitted that part of the house that was broken, was

not the dwelling-house of either party stated in the indictment, Mr. Mence

having nothing to do with that portion, and no person on behalf of Messrs.

Dodd dwelling there—nor was there any proof of breaking out. Mr. Bal-

lantine contended that it was not necessary to show that the part broken be-

longed to the party dwelling in the house; but that proof of one of the parties

dwelling there was sufficient. The Common Sergeant was of the opinion

that although that might not be proof to support the charge of breaking into

the dwelling-house of Messrs. Dodd, yet as the prisoners were proved to have

broken into the house in which Mr. Mence dwelt, that would be quite suffi-

cient to make the dwelling-house his for this purpose, although the part actu-

ally broken might not be in his occupation.

Cooper’s Defence:

I was passing down the New Kent-road, when a friend

of mine, or rather a young man asked me to take care of a brown paper par-

cel; he gave it to me. I went on to an ale-house near the Elephant and Castle,

and then undid the paper, and not until then did I know that it contained

these keys; I had an appointment with my brother in Whitechapel-road which

detained me till late, and on my way through Billiter-street, I hear cries of

“Police!” having these keys on me, I certainly ran, fearing if they were found

on me, I should get into trouble; in justice to the other prisoner, I must say,

that until this moment I never saw him.

RHODES—Guilty*(2) Aged 24.—Transported for Seven Years.

COOPER– Guilty* (2) Aged 22.– Transported for Ten Years.

Notes:

(1) Who is Phillips?? Possibly and error in the transcription of the trial!

(2) What is the relevance of the asterisk(*) against the verdict. I will need

to check this out.

I had heard about the existence of Charles Cooper, No 2779 a long time ago, but it was CGH Cooper's position of Law Clerk to the Attorney General, then following him into private practice as the Senior Law Clerk in the prestigious law firm of the day that complete put me off the track!. Plus the fact that a couple of his sons-in-laws were Justices of the Peace and District Registrars, and William Hellyer Cooper, one of his younger sons, was also a Justice of the Peace (as well as a publican and pastoral station owner in the notoriously hot area of Marble Bar in the northern part of Western Australia.). ¹³

Obituary: From "Daily News" Dec: 28. 1886

From "Daily News" Dec: 28. 1886

On Sunday morning the Rev V. Roberts notified in Wesley Church that the evening service would have special reference to the deaths of the late Rev. R.W. Campbell, and Mr. C.G.H. Cooper. The congregation was not so large in the morning as usual, but in the evening, all the pews were filled not only by members of the Wesleyan connexion, but also by those of the other religious denominations in Perth and Femantle. The lessons chosen for the service were John xi, and 1 Cor. xv from v. 35, the hymns Nos. 41, 42 and 50. The choir also sang "Vital Spark of Heavenly Flame." The Rev. V. Roberts, who also preached the funeral sermon, took for the basis of his discourse, 1Cor. Xv 19, "If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable." The preacher briefly sketched an outline of Mr. Campbell's life and ministry, and spoke of the loss which the Wesleyan denomination in Australasia had sustained by his decease. He also spoke of Mr. Cooper's long connection with the Society as a prominent member of both church and Sunday school, and his labour in the cause of temperance in the colony. The sermon was very impressive, and was listened to with great interest by the congregation.

Obituary [Newspaper unknown]

MR. C.G.H. COOPER 26.12.86

We regret to have to record the death of the above-named gentleman, which occurred at a quarter to five last Sunday afternoon. The deceased had been suffering from the effects of a cold during the preceding week , but his medical attendant (Dr. Waylen) did not anticipate that any dangerous result would ensue. Congestion of both lungs and liver, however supervened, and Mr. Cooper died at the time mentioned. At one time he occupied an onerous position in the Titles' Department, and for many years acted as chief clerk to Messrs. Stone and Burt. He was President of the Working Men's Institute, and had ever practically proved himself to be a friend of the working man in the truest sense of the term. Fortunately his last hour was soothed by the fact of his having all his family around him to bid them farewell, his eldest daughter, Mrs. O'Grady having arrived in Perth only a day or two before his death. His memory will be cherished by every person with whom he came in contact. The funeral took place on Monday afternoon, under the direction of Mr. Wimbridge, of Hay-street. The service was conducted by the Revs. J. W. Mouland and V. Roberts.

Charles is listed in the Free Settlers volume of the Dictionary of Western Australians, so his secret was not known to his children or grandchildren! However in early 2006 when the 1851 Census of England and Wales became available on line, I discovered his hidden past!

He was charged at the Central Criminal Courts, London (Old Bailey) on 17 December 1849 with burglary with breakout, and sentenced to transportation for 10 years. He arrived in Perth Western Australia as Convict No. 2779 on board the "Sea Park" on 5th April 1854. He gained his ticket of leave on arrival in Western Australia, and commenced work as the Clerk to Attorney General two weeks later. ¹³

On trial at the Old Bailey - what a way to spend a birthday!

(by Ainslie Sharpe #40)

In a previous issue of "Between the Lines" I wrote of my discovery of the hidden past of Charles Cooper, my great grandfather, who had biographical entries in both the Free Settlers and the Bond volumes of the Dictionary of Western Australians.

To quickly refresh your memory, after searching through many microfiche of the 1851 census of England & Wales for Charles, I failed to find him in the vicinity of Camberwell, Newington, Peckham where the rest of his family resided. It was only early last year when Ancestry.com released the 1851 Census on their web site that I found my Charles - residing in Portland Prison!! With the help of my cousin (third cousin, once removed - but so close in our love of genealogy!) in London, we obtained copies of court documents and prison registers to prove conclusively that Convict No. 2779, Chas. Cooper, who arrived on the "Sea Park" on 5th April 1854, was also Charles George Harvey Cooper, Clerk to the Attorney General in Perth, and Senior Law Clerk at the legal firm of Stone & Burt.

I was very fortunate that my Charles was a Londoner, as among the wonderful resources at WAGS are the films of the transcripts of trials at the Old Bailey post 1830s, from which I was able to obtain proceedings of his trial. The trial took place on 17th December 1849 - his 22nd birthday! It was fascinating reading - the police and witnesses giving evidence, and Charles giving his defence - which to say the very least, was stretching credibility to its limits! In her book, "The Secret River", the winner of the 2006 Commonwealth Writers' prize, Kate Grenville, tells of the arrest and incarceration in Newgate of the main character, William Thornton, pending his trial at the Old Bailey in the early 1800s. She relates "The thing that a man needed in Newgate, more than a loaf of bread and a blanket, was a story. There must always be a story…..no matter how red-handed a man was caught. And a man had to believe it himself, so that when he came to tell it, it felt like God's sworn truth." After reading, Charles' defence statement, I understand while this need for a good story was paramount - he definitely needed a better script writer!

Charles was tried along with his accomplice, William Rhodes, who did not give any story in his own defence. Here are portions of the transcript of the trial which has been transcribed from the microfiche copy

of the proceedings of the Central Criminal Courts, London, Second Session, 1849-1850. Pages 200-203.

AN OCTOGENARIAN'S BIRTHDAY

MRS. S. C. COOPER OF CLAREMONT.

Today, May 16, Mrs. Sarah Catherine Cooper, of Claremont, celebrates her 85th birthday, surrounded by descendants of three generations.

Her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Waldeck, arrived at Fremantle during the early 'thirties, and associated themselves with the brothers Joseph and John Wall Hardey in the work of founding Methodism in Perth, of which denomination Mr. Waldeck was a prominent lay preacher.

Mrs. Cooper has resided in the State throughout her long, useful, and eventful life, and is a living testimony of what the climate of Western Australia can accomplish on the score of cheerfulness and energy. Her husband, the late Mr. Charles George Henry [sic] Cooper, was managing clerk for Messrs. Stone and Burt up to the time of his death which occurred during the middle 'eighties. Among their numerous family of boys and girls was the late Mr. Thomas Harvey Cooper (affectionately known as "Tombo" to his familiars), of the Lands Department, Mrs. Arthur Hicks of the Williams, and Mrs. Robert O'Grady, at whose home in Claremont-avenue the widely respected octogenarian resides.

PASSING OF AN OCTOGENARIAN

THE LATE MRS. S. C. COOPER.

(By "H")

By the death of Mrs. Sarah Catherine Cooper, which took place at the residence of her daughter (Mrs. Lucy O'Grady), in Claremont-avenue, a few days ago, the State has lost one of its oldest native born colonists, whose parents (Mr. and Mrs. Frederick Waldeck) landed at Fremantle from London during the early 'thirties,

The late Mrs. Cooper was born in Perth on May 16, 1837, consequently she had attained her 86th year, during the whole of which she had resided in various portions of the State. She was renowned for her thrift, her industry, and her practical common sense. Her parents were associated with the brothers Joseph and John Hardy, in the missionary work of founding Methodism in Perth, and for many years Mr. Waldeck was the superintendent of the Wesleyan Sunday School, which stood upon a portion of the William-street frontage, a portion of which is now occupied by the Economic Stores.

Before her marriage Mrs. Cooper assisted in the drapery establishment of the late Mr. George Shenton, father of Sir George. Her husband, the late Mr. C.G.H. Cooper, for many years held an important position in the Land Titles Department, and at the time of his death, which occurred on Boxing Day, 1866, was managing clerk for the legal firm of Stone and Burt. At that time the Cooper family owned the site fronting Hay and Murray streets, upon which the Strelitz buildings now stand, and which was purchased from Mrs. Cooper by the Citizens' Life Insurance Company (now the Temperance and General) during the early 'nineties, for £8,000. Up to that time Mrs. Cooper controlled an extensive drapery business on the Hay-street frontage that is owned and occupied by Messrs. Barnett Bros., subsequently removing her stock-in-trade to William-street, near the site upon which stands the business of Harry Armstrong Limited. At that time her parents, with many other members of the Waldeck clan, were residents of Greenough, where one of Mrs. Cooper's sisters married Mr. John Stephen Maley, who was a mechanical genius of a very high order, and whose apprenticeship as an engineer and blacksmith was served under the guidance of a clever old colonist named Solomon Cook, whose extensive operations were conducted upon the site that is now occupied by Guilfoyle's Australian Hotel, in Murray-street.

Among Mr. And Mrs. Maley's descendants are the brothers Maley, one of whom is the Minister for Agriculture, while the other is M.L.A. for Irwin, and whose sister (Mrs. Mary [Faybelly?], J.P.) has done so much in the way of popularising the consumption of wheat as a daily diet and curt for many of the ailments that afflict suffering humanity.

Mr. And Mrs. Waldeck, the progenitors of the Cooper-Maley clan, celebrated their golden wedding at their Greenough hospitable home in the year 1885, in the presence of a large number of their family and friends - their descendants comprising seven sons and daughters, 69 grandchildren, and 11 great-grandchildren, their senior descendant being the subject of this notice, who, at the time of her demise, was the oldest native born Western Australian of her sex.

The head of the Waldeck clan died at the family home, Mt. Pleasant, Greenough, during the year 1895, at the age of 88, the cause of death being an accident, owing to the old gentleman having fallen down some steep steps at the homestead. Mr. Waldeck was one of the State's most useful colonists, and possessed no small skill in medicine and surgery, his delight being to keep a stock of drugs and appliances on hand; and these, together with his services were at the disposal of suffering humanity in all weathers, and at all hours. Even at his advanced age, Mr. Waldeck thought nothing of riding, or driving, 30 miles to set a broken limb, or attend to the ailments of a sick person. As a Methodist, good old "Doctor Waldeck" as he was familiarly called, ranked with the late Thomas Farmer, his adopted son, the brothers Hardy, Mr. George Lazenby, and "Honest Frank" Armstrong - men whose good works and far-reaching influence are apparent in our midst to-day.

Among Mr. Waldeck's grandsons was the late Thomas Harvey Cooper, who for so many years was a prominent and urbane official of the Lands Department, affectionately known to his familiars by the soubriquet of "Tombo."

The Waldeck survivors are Mrs. John Frederick Morrell, of Meckering, and Mrs. Locke M'Pherson, of Northampton: the living descendants of Mrs. Cooper being Messrs. William, Ashley and Alfred. Mrs. Lucy O'Grady, of Claremont, and Mrs. Arthur Hicks, of Williams.".

Mrs S. G. Cooper [sic]

Mrs S. G. Cooper [sic], relict of the late Mr. C. G. H. Cooper, who died suddenly at Claremont, on December 28, was a very old colonist. She was born in Perth on May 10, 1837, and was, therefore, in her 87th year. Her father, the late Mr. Frederick Waldeck arrived at Fremantle on the Parmella in the early thirties and after a few years residence in Perth, took up land on the Greenough flats. The only surviving members of the family are two sisters, Mrs. John F. Morrell, now of Meckering, and Mrs. Locke Macpherson, of Northampton. There will be many who will remember the business carried on by the late Mrs. Cooper on the spot adjoining Strelitz-lane in Hay-street, and relinquished by her in 1891. Her remains were buried in the Methodist portion of Karrakatta Cemetery, the Revs. E. H. O. Nye, A. Barclay and A. W. Bray, taking part in the service. The chief mourners at the graveside were Messrs. William H. and Ashley Cooper (sons), Messrs. H. D., G. C., and S. DeC. O'Grady, Alan Cooper, and L. J. Burridge (grandsons), Messrs. G. E., A. W. and S. F. Morrell and H. K. Maley, M.L.A., (nephews), and Mr. Clarence Timewell. The pall-bearers were Dr. A. J. Wright, Messrs. J. W. Langsford, A. Gorrie, W. J. Hammond, H. G. Stirling and T. W. L. Powell. A memorial serice was conducted on Sunday evening last at the Claremont Methodist Church by the Rev. E. H. O. Nye and was well attended.

Harriett born with twin sister Charlotte.

Thus far can't find Harriett on the 1851 Census. (Ancestry.com)

She gave her address on her marriage certificate as Southampton Street [Camberwell] and Thomas was living in Coburg Road.

Nelly Jaques said she [Harriett] had a sister who was a ladies maid, and who lived in a big house.

There was also another sister,Sue, who was poor, and who lived at Edmonton.

Neither married.

[Records show that Nelly was mistaken in this - all Arthur's children married]

Sarah Ann Alefounder is mentioned in Thomas Harvey Cooper's will. [And is presumably Alfred's widow].

After Thomas's death in 1904, Harriett took over his glove cleaning business, and its employees.

About 1908, she left the busines to Aunt Edie (b. 1871).

Harriett took a house in Vale Road, Claygate, Surrey, and Nelly Jaques went with her to look after her, and she remained with her until she died in 1930, at the age of 90.

Harriett owned several houses in Gordon road, Peckham, and she lived at 185 with her husband. [Next to a laundry ].

For a week until she died, she laid in bed with her eyes open looking at Nelly. Nell would moisten her lips with brandy. On the Saturday there was a bad storm, and Nell's friend, Alice Overton came round.

She said:

"Oh, Nelly. I think your Grandma's gone."

She put a mirror to her, and saw that she was indeed dead.

Nelly cycled round to the doctor, who confirmed the fact, and the District Nurse attended to the body.

Harriett went to a Baptist Church in Peckham. On Peckham High Street. The minister used to come and visit her.

Nelly went to church with her and used to sit up in the gallery.

Later in Vale Road, Claygate, Nelly would wheel her grandma in her chair to the Baptist Church there. Also to Church in Chessington and Oxshott. - she would cycle there through the cowfields. Pitch black - no lights - went by the light of their bicycles.

Nelly's girlfriends - some were nurses in the local big houses - would come over to tea and they would try and play hymns.

One was a cook, one a dressmaker. Minnie Bevan worked in a drapers' shop.

The gardener from the manor house taught Nellie how to garden. ⁵³
