A BIG apology to Michelle Young.

I have just filed my photos that i have been sent and i had forgot that Michelle had got me quite a few of my wants, and i hadn't edited them onto my list of the ones that she had got me sorry Michelle.

This leads me onto apologising to Mags because Michelle had got me some that Mags had gotten me aswell, sorry Mags.

Does any body want to be my secretary :whistle: because i am useless :doh:

I will try to get my house in order before i do anything else stupid :unsure:

Rowland Perkes Cooper and Frederick William Cooper were first cousins.

I may have a tombstone photo for Rowland but it may take some time for me to search my files.

I will forward it to you if I find it.

I would be interested to know what the end product of your project will be?

Rowland and Frederick were my great-uncles.

Hi Chris,

Welcome to the forum.

Thanks for the offer for a photo of Rowland's headstone, that would be great.

What I am going to do with my research at the end of all this is still under debate.

Either I make a web site remembering all the casualty's from Cockermouth and there a bouts, or Wright a book I still haven't decided.

I still have a lot to research especially to the ones that are not on the memorial or remembered in Cockermouth cemetery.

If only I could do this full time it would be much easier.

I would like to know all about Rowland and Frederick from a family perspective if that is all right.

Regards Mike.
