Searched for: HER CHILDREN, in the New Jersey birth index - collection 61252, "New Jersey, U.S., Birth Index, 1848-1878, 1901-1929". Run because [D.883] had just made her the mother of six against the catalog's five, and [D.875] the mother of one child who died before 1910. (a) surname
Cooper, father W. Cooper, no date - 2,867 ranked rows, first 50 read; (b) the same, births 1902-1922; (c) the same, births 1910-1921; (d) A COVERAGE CONTROL with NO parent filter: surname Cooper, births 1910-1911 -
96 rows, BOTH PAGES READ. (link)Result: (a) and (b) FOUND THE FOURTH CHILD.
Cooper | 10 Oct 1904 | Sussex | W., C. - opened, its index page downloaded and filed, now [F.391], which gives volume 11 page 464. The same searches returned Cooper | 26 Oct 1901 | Sussex | W., C., which is Roland Warren Cooper Roland's exact recorded birth date and is the control that makes W.& C. in Sussex mean this couple. A third row, Cooper | 30 Dec 1904 | Sussex | A.& S., is her nephew Charles T Cooper. (c) NO SUSSEX ROW AT ALL for 1910-1921 - the initials-only rows are Orange, Kearny, Newark, Trenton, Middlesex, Perth Amboy, Bergen, Bayonne, Morris and Burlington. (d) THE CONTROL PASSES AND THEN UNDERCUTS (c). The index does cover Sussex in 1910: Murtle E. Cooper | 21 Aug 1910 | Sussex is Myrtle E. (Cooper) Current Myrtle. But she is indexed under her own given name with NO parents shown, so the father-filtered searches in (a)-(c) could never have returned her - they reach only rows whose parent field is populated, which in this index means children entered by initials because they had no given name. => (c) was a null for an UNNAMED sixth child only, so the unfiltered search was run too: (e) surname Cooper, NO parent filter, births 1910-1911 (96 rows, both pages) and 1912-1916 (297 rows, all six pages read for the Sussex block). EVERY Sussex Cooper birth in those seven years: Murtle E. 21 Aug 1910; Cooper | B., M. 6 Feb 1911; Marjory E. 12 Aug 1911; NOTHING AT ALL in 1912, 1913 or 1914; Geraldine L., Florence, William H. and Cooper | E., M. in 1915; Harold S. and Cooper Charles A. | A., P. in 1916. NOT ONE CARRIES PARENTS W. AND C. - and the three empty years are NOT a coverage gap, controlled the same way as this morning's death-index finding: surname Smith, births 1912-1914, returns 1,461 rows including twenty-odd Sussex births on one page. STILL UNEXCLUDED: the five NAMED Sussex rows show no parents in the index. AND OPENING THEM WOULD NOT HELP - tested. Myrtle E. (Cooper) Current Myrtle is the control, since her parents are known: her record in this collection carries Name, Birth Date and Birth Place and nothing else. The parent fields exist ONLY on rows indexed by parents' initials, which are by definition the rows with no child's name. => this index can never attribute a NAMED child, and the unexcluded five stay unexcluded by any amount of clicking. [F.391] t2 carries what is left, and narrows the window: [E.37] enumerates this household in June 1915 with four children, so a sixth child living then would be on it.findagrave 2026-10-24 · NOT a name search - memorial 22571000 was already cited in Warren Edgar Cooper's marriages: entry and had never been fetched.
