First Generation
1. Joseph JESTICO
.Joseph and Elizabeth had 12 children who were all baptised at Goodworth Clatford between 1771 and 1792. The first five children were baptised as GESTICO, the latter as JESTICO. Their marriage in 1770 was recorded as JESTICO on the IGI.
The actual Parish Registers have not yet been consulted.
While the name JESTICO is relatively uncommon, there are no Joseph entries on the IGI prior to Joseph's marriage, so the origins of this name have not yet been determined. There is only one other JESTICO family in this time period and they were residing at South Bersted, Sussex.
He married Elizabeth MARSHMAN, 21 May 1770 in Upper Clatford, Hampshire, ENGLAND 8. A likely baptism for Elizabeth has not been found.

She married
Anthony COOPER, son of James COOPER, 16 Oct 1842 in St. John's, Southwark, London, ENGLAND 22. Born Before 18213. Occupation Carpenter 3 /Gentleman's Coachman13.Anthony and Fanny were married in the Parish Church of St. John, Southwark in London. Both were of full age, meaning they were over 21 years. He was gave his profession as a carpenter, his father, James Cooper was a cordwainer, and her father, Thomas Yeeleas, an engineer. Fanny signed the register, while Anthony signed with his mark. Witnesses to their marriage were John and Sarah HURLEY (?).
They had the following children:
i. Elizabeth Catherine COOPER
ii. James Anthony COOPER
iii. Sarah Ann COOPER
iv. William Thomas COOPER
At the time of the 1851 Census Fanny has been identified at 9 Haples Rents, Rotherhithe, London (LDS Reel 0174819), she was described as the head of the household, aged 31 years and born in Bermondsey. Also residing with her were her children: Catherine COOPER, daughter, 7 yrs, born Bermondsey and James COOPER, son, 2 yrs, born Newington. Her husband has not been identified anywhere on this census at this time.
At her daughter Sarah's birth, Fanny's maiden surname was recorded as YEELEAS.
It would seem most likely that both Anthony and Fanny were deceased at the time of the 1881 Census Index. They were not found on either the Middlesex of Surrey listings. Although an entry for a 62-year-old Fanny Cooper who was born in Bermondsey was found, her husband's name was Edward Cooper and he was described as a Supert of Shipping.
