My mother was a Cooper of the family who for many years (1760s to 1920s) had a cottage at Truddoxhill and who in the past had been carpenters on the Longleat Estate. An ancestor John Cooper is commemorated by a wall plaque in Nunney Church and a number of the family were baptised over the years at Witham Friary. I gather from a contact on Genes Reunited that the Truddoxhill Coopers originally came from the Little Langford area near Salisbury. Has anyone any information on these Coopers and their association with Longleat?
