The names Cope... Albert Cope!

[Cyril]

I wonder how many people know (or care???) that Jamie isn't the first professional snooker by the name of Cope. Albert Cope reached the semi-final of the inaugural World Snooker Championship in 1927, where he lost 16-7 to Joe Davis but did make the tournaments highest break of 60. He also entered in 1928 but was beaten in the first round.

Does anyone know anything else about Albert Cope???
