COOPER - Harleston

[SeeBee]

I am looking for any information about the Cooper family in Harleston.
In the 1871 census My GGGrandmother Elizabeth Smith nee Cooper gave her birth place as Harleston, she was born about 1800, and I have recently found a marriage announcement for her marriage to my GGGrandfather John Smith in the Ipswich Chronicle and she is described as Miss Cooper of Harleston Hall.
Was Harleston Hall a farm?
Any info would be gratefully received,
Thanks.

Do you have the marriage and if so what year?

[SeeBee]

Not really just what it said in the Chronicle on Saturday November 24th 1821
 
"Marriage- Lately at Islington, Middlesex. Mr John Smith of Hawstead to Miss Cooper Harleston Hall Norfolk"

Although she has her birth place on the census as Harleston Suffolk.

Ah, not the one then.

It was just I found a marriage on the Suffolk marriage index, between a John Smith and Elizabeth Cooper in 1833 in Letheringham.

Yes very interesting, I wonder whether he could possibly be a brother or a cousin to Elizabeth.
I wonder What was/is Harleston Hall?

If you search Google,particularly Google books, there comes up some interesting bits of info.
