Can anyone find their marriage please?
So I have looked for this marriage for ages & no joy.
Margaret CAMPBELL born Edinburgh approx. 1848/49, marries either George William COOPER b 1843 Arlesey Beds or William George COOPER b 1845 Arlesey Beds around 1866-68 if we are to believe what she put on the 1911 census  George W & William G were brothers & the sons of George & Hannah COOPER living in Arlesey Bedfordshire where the Coopers have lived since the early 1450's (that bit was bizarrely easy!) Obviously they didn't have much imagination naming their sons! Unfortunately they seem to sometimes drop one of their first names on subsequent censuses! Their first child I can find registered to Margaret CAMPBELL COOPER was in 1866 March Q Hannah Cooper, mmn CAMPBELL in Wandsworth. I've tried every combination I can think of for this CAMPBELL/COOPER marriage but never found it, so either they had 15 kids without bothering or they could have married in Scotland or abroad? Any ideas welcome! Thanks

If I search Marg* Cooper b Scotland 1848+/-5 the two matches on the 1911 census don't seem to be yours, so could you please post a link?

Thanks Kate. I just looked at the 1891 census (searched Ernest Cooper b Putney). I don't think I've ever seen a family with such diverse places of birth!!

I have been doing a bit of detective work by looking at the GRO index & doing the maiden name trick on the youngest 2 kids on the 1891. George William Cooper 48 Head Margaret Cooper 42 Wife Margaret Cooper 21 Daughter Sarah Ann Cooper 19 Daughter Geo Wm Cooper 17 Son Herbert Cooper 14 Son Frederick Cooper 12 Son Alfred Jas Cooper 8 Son Arthur Cooper 7 Son Emma Cooper 5 Daughter Ernest Cooper 2 Son Lavinia Cooper 11/12 Daughter Well, turns out Ernest & Lavinia's mother was Margaret Crotcher!! Then I found this : Marriages Sep 1894 (>99%) Bell John Walter Salford 8d 149 Cooper George William Salford 8d 149 Crotcher Margaret Salford 8d 149 Cunningham Elizabeth Salford 8d 149  Any ideas? There is no other Lavinia born to mmn Campbell etc I can find! I've got the digital image of Lavinia's birth cert, father's occp is slightly different ? I have sent ff for the marriage cert as I can't wait to see what is going on

I've looked on SP for marriages and the only (remote) possibility is betwen George Cooper and Margaret COOPER in 1881. Doesn't really seem likely they'd nip up to Scotland to marry though.

Perhaps this wasn't Margaret's first marriage?

I thought that, or George/William had already married and didn't want to be a bigamist!
