I can't find an Application to Marry.

I wonder if Mary was also a convict.


REH may have been born in Northumberland, England. ???

I still can't find the marriage of Richard Edward COOPER to Elizabeth HUGO.

Saturday 11 February 1928

Hello :2fun:

Yes, somewhere I said or should have said Northumberland, England and master mariner.

Thanks gibbo. That's proof of a connection to Newcastle-on-Tyne I didn't actually have.
