Cooper or Corker?

[Stanwix England]

Hi everyone,

I’m looking at a Frederick Hibbard, born approx 1870. (see below for note on marriage age)

Name issue

I have a marriage record for him, 28 September 1890, in Sheffield, where he married an Anne Elizabeth Garfitt.

I’m trying to work out his fathers name. Is it Charles Cooper Hibbard, or Corker or something else?

I can’t find a record for a Charles Cooper, or Corker Hibbard which doesn’t help.

Secondly, I believe that the age at marriage on this record is incorrect. Every other record I have for Frederick has him being born about 1870, including subsequent census records including 1939. Which makes me wonder if the father’s middle name is an error too.

Here are the details for the subsequent records I have for Frederick.

Here are the census records that I believe date from before his marriage and show him with his family

On both of these, his ‘father’ is just Charles Hibbard, no mention of another name. But the professions line up.

Well it looks like 'Cooper' - but both Charles's baptism and HIS marriage (parish register) - are on line and Charles has no middle name on either - so I can't understand why this has suddenly appeared on Frederick's marriage.

Charles Hibbard married Sarah Antcliffe in 1866

Frederick Hibbert b 1870 - mmn Antclffe

I can’t see a Sheffield birth for Charles Hibbard but there is a Charles Cooper birth in 1838 with mother, Dyson.

[Pennines]

Heywood - the baptism I found for a Charles Hibbard gives him a birth date of 18th May 1837 - so before Civil Registration.

Baptism was in August, Sheffield Cathedral (if it's the right person). Father was John, mother Sarah.

If the 1871 census I am looking at is the right one then in 1861 Charles Hibbard is married to an Elizabeth Fearn. 2 children born who appear in 1871
