     Extraction from an eMail from Rachel Mekic of 21 December 2016

I have followed up on the witnesses to the Cooper/Bull marriage of 9 June 1885.

Isa Walster was born in 1866 in Wisconsin and was a school teacher.

John Gamble was a brother b.1824 of William Cooper’s mother, Ann b.1837 nee Gamble. John is listed already in 1860 in Troy, County of Sauk. William’s aunt Pamela b.1823, married to James Harrison, is listed in the 1850 Census in New York. His uncle Alfred b.1834 was living in Monona, White County.

From the Censuses it would seem that John made himself 3 years younger. The Probate document confirms relationship.

So Mildred’s elopement was not completely into the unknown. Her underage marriage may have been accepted by the authorities as she had a teacher and a long-standing member of the community as witnesses.

It’s interesting that later on she could afford tickets to visit England.¹³

     According to their printed Visiting Card on the occasion of their marriage, their first home was 10 Burton Road, Derby. This number seems to place it near the very bottom (south end) of Babington Lane, long since demolished. Tantalisingly, an O.S. map of this area dated ~ 1914 shows certain house numbers with a very small gap between Nos.8 and 12, too small to accommodate a "No.10" Perhaps it was instead further out of Derby town centre at Burton Road, Littleover, Derby?

     Date of birth per his Order of Funeral Service - this confirms Aunt Alice's Birthday Book entry for 31 Dec. "George Arthur 10yrs 1926" as referring to her brother Arthur's 1st son.

On 3-Dec-1988 their Christmas newsletter reported their "children" as being 46, 41, 38 and 36. The then 41 year old must have been "Scott, Canada - Born 1948" for May 1, and the then 46 year old probably "Keith, Canada Born 1944" (altered from "1948"). Who was the then 38 year old - perhaps Ross ?
In which case, who then was "Larry Leonard Holmes, Canada" entered by Aunt Alice in her Royal B'day Book as "Born 1950" for Mar 20th ?
