Is she Louisa Corker or Louisa Hutson?

A cooper makes barrels - so just a specialised carpenter?
And a seaman could also be the ship's carpenter?

There's a Charles Corker married to Martha Place at Southwark St George the Martyr on 12 Oct 1829. Images of marriage record for that and the later 1837 marriage on Ancestry, Charles' signatures look very similar. The 1829 record didn't come up on a search  I had to browse the marriage register after finding 3rd banns date, it's on page 139 of 491.

Thanks for all the replies. All interesting stuff, although we seem to be going quite a long way from my original enquiry. I was actually interested in Louisa's parentage, hoping she might be an illegitimate daughter of John HUTSON (the person I am actually interested in) and Caroline as, in 1841, he was already living with Caroline (and Charles Corker wasn't there). (John was a haemophiliac, so Louisa would have been a carrier). It now seems she probably wasn't John's daughter.

I know about Caroline's life after 1841. She had a rather strange relationship with John, as can be seen in something I posted nearly twenty years ago:
https://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=208563.msg1069111#msg1069111

Since then, I have found it's a possibility that John lived in Holborn Workhouse from 1878-1890, which makes Caroline's brother's comments after he will was proved rather odd. I suspect the truth will never be known.

Purchase the birth certificate of Louisa Matilda Corker, it will have her father's name on it.

That's assuming the certificate tells the truth!

Yes, I had already done that (despite her listing Charles Corker as her father on her marriage certificate). The father is given as Charles Corker, although that may not be true. I had also bought the death certificate of one of Louisa's sons who died in his twenties (I think I keep the GRO going), but he didn't die of a haemorrhage.

The birth entry showed that she was (unusually) born in a hospital and that Charles' occupation was a wine cooper, so the 'seaman' entry was probably a mistake, although neither fact is of use to me!
