I am just starting out on my family tree and struggling to get past my fathers illegitimate birth in 1927, however the person in the 'fathers' section of his wedding certificate is listed as 'guardian' and occupation 'Cooper'. I think the guardianship was never legalised, but wonder if there is a list of Coopers I can refer to and obtain more info? (His mother was bured in Bradford in 1947 and can't get any further with that either as she may have married). Family names are Comish and Cain.
Any help would be great!
