His father John was a tailor, married to Elizabeth Butler.
"My" Ashley Coopers, as opposed to "the" Ashley Coopers lived in Chatteris, up to the 1780s.
Can anyone see where he gets his middle name from? Ancestry has an online tree, but it makes the assumption that this branch of Coopers were always in Ely and I'm not convinced it's correct as the surname is so common.
