Any particular reason why you think they're the parents?
I've found the marriage, at Stathern, Leics.:
Thomas Cooper, of Harby, co. Leicester, & Alice Geezing, lic., 9 Jan. 1788
There's a Thomas Cooper, aged 75, living in Burton Lazars in 1841, with a wife (?) Mary and daughter (?) Ruth. Mary (from Stathern) is a widow in 1851, living with unmarried daughter Ruth, pauper, and granddaughter Fanny Underwood, aged 10.
There's a burial in Burton Lazars for a Thomas Cooper aged 84, buried on 16/2/1848, who probably corresponds to that 1841 Thomas.
Fanny's the daughter of James and Ann - she's living with them in 1841.
But I expect you already know all this
