Robert was a son of Edmund Cooper & Mary Wyne.

He was baptised on the 24th day of the 1st month of 1591 at Henlow, Bedfordshire, England.

In the Old Style calendar in England, the year began on March 25th... so the 24th day of the 1st month does not make much sense when applied to the Old Style calendar since the 24th day of March would be the day before the 1st day of the new year. The Gregorian calendar replaced the Julian calendar in Catholic countries in 1582, so "double dating" was in effect in 1590. The 24th day of the 1st month of 1591 was a New Style date. The Old Style date was 24 Jan 1590.

Baptised at Henlow, Bedfordshire, England.
24 Jan 1590 [Old Style]... 24 Jan 1591 [New Style]

He was married on 21 Jun 1614 at Henlow, Bedfordshire, England to Joan Greshom.

They had a daughter, Humilitie, who accompanied his sister Agnes (Cooper) Tilley on "The Mayflower" in 1620. Humilitie was born in Leyden, Holland in 1619 according to her 19 Mar 1639 Adult Baptism in London.
