Shared note

Job's birth was registered on 10th September which is after the 42 day limit. He was registered by his mother who made her mark as, presumably, she was unable to write. His family was a strong Primitive Methodist family from Goldenhill (family thought he came from Silverdale probably because that is where his parents later lived). The Cooper family is said to have owned a small mine. There is some evidence of members of the Cooper family being involved with mines and if they did own one it is likely to have been a drift mine. In 1881 and 1891 Job was living with his mother and father, Daniel and Elizabeth, nee Bailey. See Daniel Cooper (25/4/1842) 1888 3rd May - baptised at Chapelry of Lane End, Longton together with three siblings. Parent Daniel and Elizabeth. Address given as 6 Catherine Street. Father’s trade is given as miner. [Parish record page 576 entrie 8062-8065] On 30th December 1900 Job married an Irish Catholic. According to family report this caused rift in family as she was considered to be both of the wrong faith and beneath him. As a result Job’s children grew up with little or no contact with their paternal grandparents, aunts and uncles. (Note although the Cooper family described her as an Irish Catholoc she was the 2nd generation born in England). Job gave his age at marriage as 23 which is one year older than would be expected from his birth certificate. Elizabeth was 22. The family accounts say that the marriage took place at a registry office in Stoke but the marriage certificate gives the place as the Parish Church of Wellington, Staffordshire and they married according to the rites of the established church. One of the witnesses to the marriage was Mary Ellen Rathbone, first cousin to Elizabeth (Mary Ellen was daughter of Elizabeth's aunt (mothers sister) Mary Ann Burke. Elizabeth's family appear to have been close to her cousin's family. Mary Ellen later married Thomas Shemilt. The other witness was Herbert Faskett. The 1901 census records Job, aged 22 living with his wife Elizabeth, aged 21 in shared accommodation. They have two rooms at 56 St Mark's Street Hanley (Cauldon or Shelton). The other rooms are occupied by the Hollins family, Elijah a 58 year old widow and his son George 24 and his brother Thomas, 32. Job’s occupation is given as a potter's earth presser and the Hollins are all underground coal hewers. 1911: Job is entered (and signed) as W Job Cooper,33, Potters Jollier and living at 18 Windmill Street, Hanley with his wife Elizabeth 32 and six children from James WIlliam,10 to Mary, 1 month. Job was born in Tunstall and all the others in Hanley. Their house had four rooms including the kitchen but not the bathroom. This suggests they had two bedrooms. Job and Elizabeth had been married 11 years and had had 6 children born alive, all still living. According to family accounts Job worked as a jiggerer in Bennets pottery at Shelton. He liked to go to the pub on a Saturday night and he used to drink with his mates in Sherrat's pub in Bethesda Street Hanley. One of his mates was William Deakin. Their children Elizabeth Deakin and Wilfred Cooper eventually married. Job's children used to go to the pub and lift each other up to look in through the window in the hope of attracting his attention and persuading him to give them pocket money. His daughter May said that he was always very generous to his mates. 1921 The family has moved to 8 Milner Street, Hanley, Staffordshire. Job, 41, born 1879 in Tunstall, a general labourer, unemployed and last worked at the gas works, British Gas Light Co in Broad Street, Hanley, Elizabeth his wife, 41 born 1880 in Hanley; With them are their children: 1939 Register Job, 60 date of birth 29 July 1879 is identified as a general labourer, his wife Elizabeth 60, date of birth 29th Feb 1879 !!!! is identified as Market Assistant. They are living with three of their children at 8 Milner Street, Stoke on Trent. The children are Elsie store shop assitant dob 15th July 1914, Francis furnishings salesman dob 24 Feb 1922 and Winston, clerk, dob 29 Jan 1919. Elsie’s surname is later crossed out and replaced with ? Ball Bell. She later married Clifford Ball. Death recorded in Q3 1940 aged 61 which implies died before 9th July when he would have been 62. According to a memoir written by his son Daniel in 1980, Job died in 1941 “as the result of a fall while fixing the blackout on the window”. |
