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?
Civil Registration event: Birth Print Close Name: COOPER, Frederick A Registration district: Pewsey County: Wiltshire Year of registration: 1920 Quarter of registration: Apr-May-Jun Mother's maiden name: Killick Volume no: 5A Page no: 287

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
Births Dec 1914 COOPER Louisa M - Killick - Pewsey 5a 239
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Births Dec 1916 Cooper Ruby L - Killick- Pewsey 5a 218

Do these births have anything to do with him?

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 :-)
