Looking for Relatives of Charles Cooper b. 1878 Tilsworth Bedfordshire UK (his father - David Cooper b. 1850 m. Harriet Bryan b.1851) .

My grandfather Hubert Cooper was Charles' brother.

Charles Cooper went off to the Boer war. He married a South African girl called Tina (maiden name unknown) Somewhere in South Africa and they were known to be in Johannesburg, South Africa in the early part of the 20th centuary.

We have a photo Christmas card that was sent from him and Tina back in Chritmas 1907.

Charles I'm told contracted cancer and returned for treatment to England (I don't know where in England he had that treatment) and was advised to return to South Africa where apparently he later died.

We do not know what became of Tina or whether there were any children from the marriage.

I know this is not an easy one but it may ring a bell with a family member somewhere.

Cheers,
Peter Cooper
