Can anyone do a look up for me.
My GG grandfather was William Cooper , I believe he was born in Woolwich. I can't find it.
His parents were Charles Cooper & Mary Haines/Haynes who were m. 3 Aug 1806 Plumstead, Kent (off IGI)
Can only find one child or guess it is a sister(on Fam.Search) only 80% match
Elizabeth COOPER b.6Nov1814 Ch.15Jan1815 St Mary Magdalene, Woolwich d.9 Mar 1817
William's convict record says he was born 3 May 1812. Marriage cert. calculates to 1814, but he lied often. :-X
William was tried in Gloucester on 7 Apr 1830 and sent to VDL for life.
Confirmation about his birth/bap would be wonderful, as people keep putting unconfirmed info on the web. >:(
Thanks for your time

Hi Sharon
You are a gem ! :) Thank you so much. Am I right in assuming that the source is the St Mary Magdalene
church records? I was told there was a Susan, but could never find this either. can you tell me how I go about
getting a copy of these records?
Thanks once again

If your local library has access to "Ancestry Library Edition" then a copy of the registers is available there under the "london Parish records" dataset.
