... please let me know.
I can't see on in the transcribed set yet.
I reckon he slots into the family of that Bank of England Clerk I was enthusing about (or enthusing about the archivist who found the records, anyway!).
As far as I can tell - and this is largely speculation (that seems to work):
Alexander HOOPER b 1755-6
m1 24 Jun 1781 St Mary Magdalen Bermondsey to Sarah POOLE (he was of the parish of St George the Martyr, Southwark)
?burial Sarah HOOPER ??? 21 Sep 1823 age 67 St George-in-the-East
m2 22 Sep 1823 St James, Paddington to Sarah THORPE
So far there is nothing to contradict my impression that Alexander had a family with Sarah née POOLE, and then left her for Mrs Sarah THORPE, with whom he had a family, and married her (by Licence) as soon as Sarah 1 had died. (The expression indecent haste springs to mind!) The children were all baptised with HOOPER as a surname.
I'm not expecting anyone to trawl the images on my behalf. I'm doing the research for a friend, and it certainly doesn't warrant anyone losing lots of time over it. I only mention it because Alexander's a fairly uncommon name, as is HOOPER, so you might notice/remember and let me know about it if you do. I've already looked at the relevant images for St. Andrew Holborn. Since I couldn't see him there, he could be anywhere! When I looked at the list of City Churches, I balked!
And if, by some miracle, you spot the earlier Alexander's baptism ca 1755-6... well I'd definitely like to know about that, too, of course.
