Anne Cooper (baptized 18 August 1763, died 20 September 1804) was the daughter and only child of William Purnell of Dursley (1737-1805). She married Robert Bransby Cooper on 6 May 1784. He was a Deputy Lieutenant of the County of Gloucestershire, and M.P. for Gloucester, from 1818 to 1830. In 1807 the Cooper family embarked on another Wye Tour, with the poet Robert Bloomfield, whose "The Banks of Wye", 1811, is in part dedicated to "Robert Bransby Cooper ... and all the members of his Family".
