Wow, that is completely different to what the family thinks. For some reason the "History" has become secret. I am 67 and only just found out my grandfather Archy [or Archie] Sinclair Cooper had more that one sibling. He died in Palmerston North in 1939 and was a baker there and owned the Huntley and Cooper bakery. But 9 siblings? My parents are both gone now and there are no relations of this generation left. Thanks very much. Where did you come up with this information?
