    Wink Elizabeth Cooper b 1811 bmd/ parrish lookup

    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

    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.
