Thank you for looking shanreagh
but i think its definatley a d the end of Roberts surname there are quite a few words with letter t at the end and to me none resemble those in the surname. but thank you

Do you know John Copper's fathers name or Ann's husbands first name also a location in the Will  or where the Will was probated. Try and track down a marriage for Mrs Ann Cooper

Or look for a marriage of the son John Cooper or other children - it might show mother's maiden surname?

Thanks sami
This is the only document i have with the Surname Hand so i have nothing to compare it with, was just wondering if anyone else could see something different. This is the will of Ann Cooper from 1803 so difficult to find original records

Have you looked on Family Search?  Huge number of Hands and Coopers in late 1700s and early 1800s. When did Ann Cooper die?  Where did she live? Are there any of her children that have the name Hand as a middle name?  Perhaps this clue as to the MS of Ann Cooper being Hand need not succeed or fail just on this one will?

Hi dobfarm and shanreagh
and Thank you for your time

Anns husband was William Cooper of West Bromwich my 4x great grandparents Their daughter Sarah Cooper is my 3x great grandmother
That Sarahs parents were William and Ann Cooper I am certain, and that this is definatley the Will of Sarahs mother.

I have found a marriage for William Cooper and Ann Hand in Cannock Stafford 31st December 1759 their children then born in Cannock and later West Bromwich do fit with Sarahs siblings.
I just find it a bit strange that they had 11 children but in my research i haven't come across any other mention of the surname Hand with any of the coopers, no mention of them in wills or later in census so really i was just wandering if maybe someone else would read it differently.
