I think you can discount that submitted entry - there's no date or church given, so it just looks like somebody's guesswork. I've checked the Leics. marriage index 1801-1837, and Phillimore's marriage index, and there's no marriage for a Thomas Cooper to a Mary in 1811. The nearest is Thomas Cooper to Mary Ward in Loughborough in 1812, and there are a few others in different parishes. There's nothing for those names in Stathern, Burton Lazars or Melton Mowbray. There are also several marriages for Thomas Coopers to Marys in the various Leicester city churches.

I know there were 2 Ruths and a Ann to the second marriage (Leicester Mike from GR found them) Ruth 1812-1815, Ruth 1816-1853 and Ann 1817- ?
The first Ruth was buried in Burton Lazars 28/9/1815 aged 3, and the second one 20/5/1853 aged 36. Mary Cooper was buried there on 8/2/1860 aged 78. Alice isn't on the index I have, because it only starts in 1813. There are no other Cooper burials in Burton Lazars on my index (1813-91).

Bit odd, that. Sounds like a mistake (nobody would have admitted to incest, I'm sure).
