Confirmation of her burial again, plus age:

This gives a rough year of birth of 1782.

Hmmmm I didn't see the 'other' Sarah Cooper. Maybe the birth I have isn't 'my' Sarah after all.
Where would I find the full marriage registration for John Rowe & Sarah Cooper? It should show her father's name I hope.

The earlier birth would only make her 14 when she married in 1796.

I have the Hampshire Genealogical Society's Marriage Index for 1754-1837.

It just gives you the marriage date and the couple's names.
FMP has the entry with no extra details. They usually give any extra information.

As this is pre-registration, this is probably as good as it gets!

I was afraid of that Elizabeth! :(

No point in me contacting Hampshire Genealogical Society then as I assume the Index you have is all there is!

Thank you for your help. :)
