Elizabeth Willis born about 1796
« on: Sunday 20 January 13 14:33 GMT (UK) »

On 2nd December, 1818, aged 21, Benjamin Walton Cooper married Elizabeth Wills in St Martin’s Church Birmingham. Benjamin had been baptised 8th March 1797 in St Martin’s Church Birmingham, the son of William and Nancy Cooper and named after Nancy’s father, Benjamin Walton, however I have been unable to find any mention of the birth of Elizabeth Willis. She probably died in Wrexham in 1829 aged 33 which would make her year of birth about 1796. I wonder if anyone can suggest where I might find her birth record? I have tried Familysearch and Ancestry with no success.
Cooper- Berks, Herts, Wrexham,Birmingham
Garrett- London, Berks

Harvey- Essex
Hambling, Royal,Dale,Jackson, Tann, Boatwright Edridge/Etheridge/Uttridge -all Norfolk

Thanks Claire -unfortunately I might be responsible for the Ancestry tree- I found a birth on IGI when it used to have submitted information, then I realised that it wasn't a proper record so removed it, but not before it had been incorporated into other trees!
It may still be correct but I can't find the birth on Familysearch  and freereg sadly don't seem to cover Birmingham.
