I have Charles Cooper in my tree, born 1845, Wakefield, Yorkshire. Son of Joseph Cooper and Mary Hant. On the 1871 Census he is shown as living in Thornes ,Wakefield, with his parents and wife Mary. In 1881 they have moved to Carlton Street, Wakefield and the census shows they have an adopted son William G Hary. I have been trying to find a marriage for them and the maiden name of Mary for a long time. I have found a coroner's report for her death in 1884. A Elizabeth Herringshaw says that Mary was her sister's daughter, but I cannot find any information for Mary. It says that she was affected by the death of her husband Charles, and she had three children but they all died soon after birth. Can anyone help please?

Here's a start
Joseph Herringshaw married Elizabeth Pickering in Stanley on Nov 13 1865. The certificate is on the West Yorkshire PRs on Ancestry.
Elizabeth's father was George Pickering a shoe maker.
It should follow that Elizabeth's sister was a Pickering too, so we need to find her name and who she married.

When Elizabeth Pickering got married she said she was 30 and a few years older than her husband. I wonder whether she fibbed a bit and was actually even older.
In 1841 there's an Elizabeth Pickering aged 10 with father George a cordwainer, mother Sarah and brother Joseph
