At least I hope they married!!
I have a Margaret Cooper b. 1869 Barking Essex. I have her birth cert which in fact shows her born in Plaistow, her mother was Margaret Cooper formerly Campbell. Margaret Campbell gives her birth as Edinburgh 1848 on the census.
The trouble is the father of Margaret Cooper jnr was William George Cooper, born Arlsey Beds, but he had a brother called George William born 2 years apart, & they seem to have each used their middle names at some point! :(
William was born 1843 George in 1845.
I have trawled through Ancestry, each page of Campbells & Coopers from 1862 until 1871 & not one had the same District and page & vol no. !
Do this mean they were never married but she just put formerly on the birth cert anyway?
For ref this is them in 1881 :
Class: RG11; Piece: 849; Folio: 43; Page: 30; Line: ; GSU roll: 1341201.
A very confused Joan
