Description

This book contains all Album entries, for better reading they were transcribed and where possible identified. The author also added a genealogy research, underlined by newspaper articles which were all transcribed, of Sarah Dobbs, her family and the family of her husband Henry Poolly Cooper. Before their immigration to the USA both of them lived in Chepstow, Monmouthshire, Wales, UK. Sarah Dobbs as innkeeper daughter of the White Hart Inn, Beaufort Square, Chepstow, Wales, UK.
