Elizabeth Cooper b 1811

[rwenman]

 :)Hoping someone can help locate information on Elizabeth Wilkins (born Cooper).

this is what I have:
Marriage IGI Extracted;
James Brindley WILKINS b 1814
Elizabeth COOPER, b 1811
05 September 1834, Holy Trinity, Gosport, Hampshire.

I have not been able to find Elizabeth's parents or siblings.

I have not found Elizabeth on the 1841 census.  Her husband (James Brindley Wilkins, death was reported in 1838, and children (David b 1835 is with his Wilkins grandparents.)

1841 Census:
Hampshire>Portsea Town>Dist7>Page11
David WILKINS 49 b.1792 Hampshire (Occupation possibly Salt or Lath Render?)
Mary WILKINS 48 b.1793 Hampshire
David WILKINS 6 b.1835 Hampshire

thanks

Have you considered the possibility that she may have been a widow when she married James Wilkins  Its unlikely at 23 but not impossible

You would need to view the actual entry to ascertain her status.

Gosport was a maritime town so she could have been born anywhere and its such a common name 

As she does not appear with her son in 1841 have you looked for a possible re remarrige  or her death
