Searched for: HER 1900 AND 1910 CENSUSES - the first searches ever run for this person, because until 2026-10-18 she was INVISIBLE to the descendant sweep: her surname: key held her middle initial "J" (see the comment on that key), and build_missing_records.py scopes on surname == "cooper". Fixing the field put her in the gap list, which immediately showed 1900, 1910 and 1930 open. (a) FIRST, WHAT THE CATALOG ALREADY HELD - [D.662], her father's 1910 Oxford Twp household, checked before searching anything. (b) Then the COMPLETE 1900 WARREN CO. COOPER LIST (coll. 7602, ?name=_Cooper&count=50&residence=_warren-new+jersey-usa_3036&residence_x=1-0-0_1-0) - 77 rows, BOTH PAGES READ.
Result: (a) 1910 WAS NEVER A GAP. [D.662] already carries her: "Eleanor J., 47, Daughter, single" in Calvin C. Cooper's Oxford Twp household, ED 157 sheet 17A. The gap report flagged it only because this file had no residence: entry for 1910 - the same artifact that produced a false gap on Emma O. (Westbrook) Cooper the day before. (b) 1900 FOUND: "Caloni C Cooper", b. Mar 1836, Head; "Rachel Cooper", b. Nov 1836, Wife; "Elenor J Cooper", b. SEP 1862, Daughter - Oxford Twp, Warren Co., New Jersey. THE GIVEN NAME IS MANGLED, NOT THE SURNAME: "Caloni C" for Calvin C. Calvin Chandler Cooper (b. 31 Mar 1836) and "Elenor J" for Eleanor J. A search on Calvin Cooper could never have returned it; the complete-county place recipe did, because it keys on surname and county and ignores the given name entirely. Her own birth month Sep 1862 matches her death certificate's 8 Sep 1862 [F.351] exactly, which is what identifies the row. ⇒ ONE HOUSEHOLD CLOSES THREE 1900 GAPS - hers, her father Calvin Chandler Cooper's and her mother Rachel (Jones) Cooper's. INDEX-TIER ONLY. The plate has NOT been downloaded, nothing is cropped, and no entry has been made. Nothing is written into this file's header on the strength of it. See the todo:. 1930 remains genuinely open: her parents were dead by 1919 and she died in 1934 at her niece's home in East Stroudsburg, Pa., so look for her in a sibling's or niece's household in Northampton or Monroe Co., Pa.
