Birth record help
« on: Sunday 26 November 23 09:21 GMT (UK) »
Good morning. I am looking to find a birth record of a child born to Susannah Cooper sometime late in 1807 or in early 1808 in or around Shoreditch. So far I am drawing a blank. Poor union record states that she was a pregnant single woman at the time.

There are no Birth Records pre 1837, and the start of Civil Registration.
What you need to find is a baptism record.
And for that you need to find the relevant Church Records.
