Find Ancestors

Looking for any information on Frederick Arthur Cooper and his parents/siblings/grandparents etc etc

Born 02/05/1920 in Pewsey?
Died December 2001 in Salisbury
Mothers maiden name Killick?

Married Barbara Nicklen? and had 3 boys David, Raymond & Michael
He owned a shop in Wilton, Salisbury - would love it if there was any information about this

He may have military connections also

He then went on to marry Davina Cooke and lived in Wilton, Salisbury

I have looked on Ancestry and on FreeBDM and on here but i think i am doing something wrong as i cannot find much other than the above.

Any information appreciated, thanks in advance

His birth that you have. Have you looked for a Cooper/ Killick marriage on freebmd?

Registration district: Pewsey
County: Wiltshire
Year of registration: 1920

There are quite a few Cooper/Killick marriages.

As you have identified his birth, you need to buy his birth certificate to make sure you follow the correct parents.

As these births are the same area, they may ( or may not) be Frederick's siblings

Thanks guys, appreciated.
Is there a way i can find out about Fredericks Shop? Maybe get a picture of it or something.
I have tried google but it didnt bring up anything.
I think it was called Coopers and it was in the market square in Wilton, Salisbury.
Im not sure which street possibly North street

Contact the Chamber of Trade in Wilton...............they may be able to help.

I presume you know what type of business was carried out at his shop.............

Yeah, it was a grocers... Do you know who i would need to speak to or what i would need to ask for?
Thanks Reggie :-)
