I am in need of some help in helping me trace Elizabeth Cooper b 1811.
I am attempting to find out who Elizabeth's parents were . I only have a marriage record so far.
Does anyone have access to this church record?
This is what I have:
Marriage IGI Extracted
James Brindley WILKINS b 1811 (died 1837)
Elizabeth COOPER, 05 September 1834, Holy Trinity, Gosport, Hampshire
Would someone be so kind to look up this record at the church (Holy Trinity).
I have not been able to find Elizabeth on any census, so she likely remarried after her husband James died in 1837.
I have no further information except what kind people extracted on the Rootschat site. here:
www.
rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,521945.0.html
Also, It was suggested that I also download this military record to see if there is any further mention of elizabeth. Would anyone have access to this?
A check on the National Archives reveals the following.
www.
rootschat.com/links/0chz/
Description Name Wilkins, David Brinley
Official Number: 69924
Place of Birth: Portsmouth, Hampshire
Date 19 June 1830
Catalogue reference ADM 188/54
Dept Records of the Admiralty, Naval Forces, Royal Marines, Coastguard, and related bodies
Series Admiralty: Royal Navy Registers of Seamen's Services
Piece 69401 - 70000
Please tell me if you think I should post this in some other way, if you think that would be helpful.
thanks much
Rob

Peter,
I feel a bit stupid here, but I am not sure what you mean by....
"Click "Add to Shopping" "

Hello Rob,
If you look at the top right of the page for which you provided the link, you will see a little icon of a shopping trolley. Underneath that there is a box, saying +Add to shopping. If you click on that box, you will find that you can view/download the docs for the princely sum of £3-50!

Was Elizabeth born in Gosport?
Family search has this baptism:
Eliza Cooper bap 24.1.1813 - Holy Trinity, Gosport - Parents James Cooper & Elizabeth.

I really don't know, but that seems very likely since Elizabeth was married at Holy Trinity in Gosport. She doesn't show up on the 1841 census that I have found, and I haven't had any luck accessing the registers at Holy Trinity (not even sure how to do this.) I suppose it would be helpful to access the marriage register at Holy Trinity to see if her father (James Cooper is listed) again, this is only what I have found so far:
Elizabeth COOPER, 05 September 1834, Holy Trinity, Gosport, Hampshire

Familysearch only shows marriage details you've already got - no parents names.
As far as I'm aware as they married in 1834 father's names are NOT given.
You may have to order marriage certificate to check names of witnesses - maybe James Cooper would be one of them.

A marriage record before 1837 is unlikely to state the father's name, unless he was giving parental consent to a minor.
For details of what you can expect to find in a marriage register at this date, please see this page of our website. The witnesses' names may be useful, as they may be relatives.
If no-one here has access to the registers of Holy Trinity, Gosport, you can order a printout from Hampshire Archives, at very modest cost.
