Notes for Lissey Anne Cooper
In a transcript of her marriage settlement held in Shropshire Archives, she is referred to as “Sissey Ann”. And similarly in her will she names herself “Lissey Ann”. Likewise her burial in Shrewsbury is as ‘Lissey Ann’.
And in the IGI transcripts of marriage and of the baptism of her daughter Catherine Anne, she is Lucy Ann, so, 17 May 2007, I’ve changed from the previous “Anne Cooper”.
But in the IGI transcript of her marriage allegation, she is ‘Lissey Ann Cooper’.
Her will is in The National Archives, catalogue details:
