Can anyone help me please. I am trying to find the wife of William Cooper b 1820, poss Kettering - They had children as follows: Thomas 1841, Warner 1846, William 1849, John 1849, Elizabeth 1850, Frederick 1855, Catherine 1857, Frances 1860, Henry 1860.
I beleive her first name may be Elizabeth, but am definately not sure of her surname. I thought it may be Hall, but others are making me doubt myself. Can anyone who is experienced at this help me?

The marriage will almost certainly be on freebmd...........always worth checking

The marriage cert will have his father's details ( if known)

Someone has found an Elizabeth on the 1861 census, so that's what leads me to believe it is Elizabeth, but cannot find a surname

thank you so much Reggie. I suppose Noble is a distinct possiblity with one of the children having Noble as a middle name. I will try and get the birth certificate for Warner.
I really appreciate all your help.
Thanks again
