'COOPER marriage - ? Marcham'

[CarolA3]

Thank you Capetown

I should have said that Elizabeth is very consistent about her age in four census records.  On that basis her birth year was 1795 or 1796.  John was 10-11 years older.

Unfortunately this would rule out the records you've found, but I do appreciate your interest

Benjamin COOPER was also a Shoemaker/Cordwainer as was John.




Ancestry does have copy of the Marriage Banns for Oxford St Giles -  11th/18th and 25 April 1819

between

John COOPER of the Parish of Headington in this County and Elizabeth JONES of this Parish



John COOPER - aged 55 and Shoemaker - born born in County, plus Wife Elizabeth aged 45 - are living in Headington, Oxfordshire. 

with Benjamin 15, Jane 11, James 11, John 8, Emily 7, Harriot 15 and Rebecca 5

Thank you once again Capetown, but I already have the census records for John and Elizabeth in Headington.

Please note that I am asking specifically for a look-up in person at the Berkshire Record Office in Reading, as the marriage records for Marcham are evidently unavailable anywhere else.

Hi Carol,

I was at the Berkshire records office yesterday so had a quick look at the marriages for Marcham between 1805-1811 for you, sorry to say but there was no record for a John Cooper marriage at all.

Kind regards
Chris

Hi Chris

Thanks for taking the trouble to check the records for me, I really appreciate it.  Can't think of anywhere else to look at the moment so I'll try to live with not knowing
