Kitty Errin Atkinson - Cooper is on Geni with having children to multiple men at the same time which is probably not correct

Husband 2 - James Atkinson

  • married in 1873
  • born 1831 England
  • died 1896 VIC

Husband 3 - James Cooper

Children

Can anyone add any sources to these profiles?

There are a few internet pages that link several of these children today as siblings

Aaron ATKINSON brother of William COOPER (1860-1941)

William COOPER (1860-1941)
mother Kitty
brother Bobby
William was born to Kitty, who identified as a Wollithica woman and James Cooper a white labourer.

Thomas Shadrack JAMES married Ada Bethel COOPER on 14 May 1885
brother in law William COOPER

Husband James John Oldbury Atkinson was also married to Sarah Annie Atkinson from 1869 (she died in 1889) and having children with her from 1870 to 1879

She has 2 sons called Robert COOPER both alive at the same time which is unlikely

Robert COOPER born 1861 died 1948
Victoria Death Record
Robert COOPER died 1948 Mooroopna
Age 87
born Moama
father unknown
mother Kitty

Robert COOPER born 1851 died 1933
Victoria death record
Robert COOPER died 1933 Ballarat, aged 82
no parents or spouses listed

I will detach Robert COOPER born 1851 from Kitty

Edgar ATKINSON born 1860 died 1937 death record lists his father as Edgar Atwood

NSW Death Record
ATKINSON EDGAR
Registration number
11254/1937
Father's Given Name(s)
EDGAR ATWOOD
Mother's Given Name(s)
District
MOAMA

There are 2 daughters Elizabeth alive at the same time.

Elizabeth born 1853 married NELSON
Elizabeth born 1855 died 1908

Looking at various internet trees to try to find sources

  • an Elizabeth NELSON married Sampson BARBER / BARKER

There was a Samson BARBER who signed a petition in 1887 requesting Queen Victoria to grant land to the community - along with John COOPER, Aaron ATKINSON and William COOPER

Kitty Errin Atkinson - Cooper timeline looks a bit more realistic - separate relationships rather than concurrent relationships

She appears to have been married / had a relationship with an ATKINSON sometime before 1851 and then before 1860 with James COOPER

James John Oldbury Atkinson married Sarah HORTON in 1869
James Atkinson died in 1896
There isn't currently any evidence to determine which of these (if either) were the ATKINSON she had children with. The only reference to her partner is Jno ATKINSON which would give the impression of John or Johnathan rather than James.

She still has

Private User - can you add any additional information or sources to these.

I dont have any new info atm.Will come back to it another time if I find anything else
