Find Ancestors

I've been trying for a while to find the parents of James Hooper born abt 1816 in Shoreditch, he married Elizabeth Nightingale. Can't find them, anyone with a connection, or someone who could help out there... thanks.

A slight correction to the above: James Hooper was born abt 1811 in Shoreditch.

When did he marry ?

Just for info

Name: James Hooper
Spouse Name: Elizabeth Nightingale
Record Type: Marriage
Event Date: 27 Apr 1831
Parish: Hackney St John

Register Type: Parish Register

Have you tried the IGI for a possible baptism?

Don't know if it helps but the witnesses at the marriage were Charles Welsh and Mary Ann Hooper - possibly his sister?

James and Elizabeth Hooper were the witnesses at this wedding of a Mary Ann Hooper at the same church

Name: Mary Ann Hooper
Spouse Name: George Bant
Record Type: Marriage
Event Date: 13 Oct 1834

This could be Mary Ann and George Bant in 1851

Graham,

Is Elizabeth related to Mary Ann Nightingall who married Robert Legge in your other thread - looking for Robert's parents?

I can find births for Mary Ann to Thomas and Hannah 03/03/1816 and for Elizabeth 09/02/1813

Doesn't help find either groom's parents though (sorry)

Thanks very much for ALL this info, very helpful. Seems James parents were: Robert/Mary.

With the info above, it does seems very much the case that James Hooper parents were: Robert Hooper and Mary. Any ideas who Robert parents were ? Also, what was Mary maiden surname ?

WOW!!! Thanks very much for that Yvonne. I do hope I have the correct parents for my James Hooper, going by the info above, it seems very much like they are. So it's: John Hooper and Mary Hobbs. You have done very well Yvonne, seeing this info for the first time, I will have to check to see what that surname: Hobbs means now. :-D ;-) <3

Still not sure who Robert Hooper married though ? James Hooper who married Elizabeth Nightingale parents were: Robert Hooper and Mary. Robert parents were: John Hooper and Mary Hobbs.
