Michael

Do you have your parents birth and/or wedding certificates? These will give you info on their parents and then you can start searching backwards for their marriage, parents etc.

If you don't have the certs, you can search for the registrations on Ancestry. If you are not a member of Ancestry post the details and someone will try to help. Stay on the board for a while as people usually come up with answers fairly quickly.

There are quite a few Arthur Coopers in 2nd qtr 1921...any idea if he had a middle name or where he was born?
