Hi,
fhs-online.co.uk is a pay to view site which has the Worcestershire Baptism Index on it. Transcriptions only - no images. Open access to the search results however gives 8 names of children baptised and 3 names of those buried.
There are images of Bishop's Transcripts on Ancestry. A quick check indicates that there was more than one COOPER family, so take care.

Good Morning
You say you want family but is that their children or their parents?
The witnesses were William Powkes and William Townsend
Their children Mary 24 Dec 1757 , Ann 28 Oct 1759,,Sussannah 26.12.1766 ,Elizabeth 9.10.1770, John baptised 5th April 1774
The parish of Beoley is a bit of a struggle because although the records are supposed to be on Ancestry there are a lot of gaps and not in order.

Thank you both for that very helpful information.
I inherited papers and letters written in 1844 with the names of four Cooper children without any dates except for Mary who is my ancestor. I have been unable to find any evidence of her siblings so am extremely grateful to have something to follow up.
