Elizabeth Jane Weston
The article about Elizabeth Weston, the Anglo-Latin poet, says her mother was born Jane Cooper. What's the source for this?
The reason for my interest is that I'm from an Anglo-Irish family, the Coopers of Cooper Hill, Limerick, and Jane is a common name in the Cooper family. I now live in the Czech Republic, as a writer and translator, and am wondering if Elizabeth Weston might be a distant cousin! Elsewhere I've read that they were from Chipping Norton, which is the area that my family originated from, during Cromwell's rule.
