Hi Margaret Glad your message finally appeared, LOL I found this: MARRIAGES Oct/Nov/Dec 1841 ELISA Hooper Blandford vol.8 Page 27 I couldn't cross reference it with William.............Could his name have been spelt wrongly?

Hi Gerogina I have just sent you a message , the certificate I got for Louisa Hooper and William Ackland had no father down for Eliza but one of the witnesses was a Philip Hooper. I think it is mystery that might not be solved Margaret
