  • Notes 
    • Generally known as John rather than David
    • Name change Jacobs - Cooper

      In 1936 David John Jacobs changed the family name to Cooper. This effectively changed his surname plus that of his 2 children at the same time.

      Cooper was his mother's original maiden name [see Catherine Cooper for more details]

      Two years later, both David John's brothers (Charles Henry and Sydney James Patrick) changed their surname to Cooper as well. [6]
