Marriage Index: Jessie Jones & Hannah Cooper, Q3 1841, Mk. Bosworth, Vol. 15, Page 203.
Marriage Certificate reads:
1841.
Marriage solemnized by Licence in the Parish of Thornton, in the County of Leicester.
Entry No. 43, September 11.
Jesse Jones, aged 29, Bachelor, Silk (Mercer), residing Islington, father William Jones, (Occupation? This would be a guess) and Hannah Cooper, aged 21, Spinster, Gentleman's Daughter, living at Thornton, father Thomas Cooper, Gentleman.
Married in the (St. Peter's) Parish Church, according to the Rites and Ceremonies of the Established Church of England, by me, Samuel Adams, Curate. Both signed in the presence of Thomas Cooper (Father?), Sarah Goodrich (Possibly - her brother, William Newberry Cooper's, future second wife Martha's, sister), and Rich(a)d. Nuttall, (Draper- her sister Marianne Cooper's husband).
Comments:
The sloping writing is not easy to read hence the Index has: Jessie instead of Jesse.
His father, William Jones's occupation could be anything.
It can be assumed that because the family were from Wootton, Northamptonshire, that his trade may have been in connection with either silk or shoes.
It can also be assumed that Hannah forsook her nonconformist views of her parents at the time of her Christening/Baptism and had adopted the Established Church at that particular time in her life.
St. Peter's Church at Thornton is in the most beautiful of settings above the Thornton reservoir. It is also where her great grandparents, John and Sarah Cooper's slate Memorial/tombstone is set in the floor near the altar in the Lady Chapel.

It could also be assumed that Jesse and Richard Nuttall were friends and possibly that he was the best man, that they were certainly in the silk and cloth drapery business's, as other data and later family events have proved.
There could also be some significance of the fact that Sarah Goodrich signed as second witness, which will be researched further.
