Eileen L. (Iversen) Cooper 1946–2023

Result: FOUND = [C.164], and it answers two questions at once. 'Richard Cooper | Jan 1965 | Stanhope, Sussex, New Jersey | Eileen L Iversen | certificate 02264'. Image downloaded, filed and read on three ratable_stitch.py stitches: IVERSEN EILEEN L | COOPER RICHARD | 02264 | 1976 | 01/65. HER MAIDEN NAME IS IVERSEN, and the SPELLING is settled by the page itself: her line reads IVERSEN and two lines below it stands IVERSON GAIL P, so the printout distinguishes the two. This file's prose had been using Iversen and Iverson interchangeably - a marriage-return order on the wrong one would come back empty. Her middle initial L is attested for the first time; this file carried middle: ''. THE CATALOG'S OWN HYPOTHESIS IS CONFIRMED, NOT REPLACED. The 'Maiden name - open' section already argued for Iversen from two independent directions: a public-records index listing her at Carolina Shores, N.C. as 'Eileen Iversen Hawke', b. Aug 1946, and [J.479] placing Mrs. Mary Iverson of Byram - mother of her brother Norman S. Petterson - in Sussex Co. in 1970. Byram Township adjoins Stanhope. ⇒ Hypothesis documented; graded certain. PLACE IS A CODE (1976), NOT A TOWN; 'Stanhope' is Ancestry's decode and is recorded as such. The date reads 01/65 - month and year, no day. State file no. 02264 makes the RETURN orderable, and it would give her PARENTS - which is the next open question on this file, and the one her brother's surname (Petterson) against her mother's (Iverson) makes interesting.
