It sure seems as though this profile conflates a woman of Hingham, Norfolk, England, with a woman of the same name at London.
Hoping folks might help me understand, Notes follow, but dates, locations and names here seem very loosely developed--more like collection random English records.
Any suggestions on where we begin to straighten out the unproven relationships? Thank you in advance for any assistance you are able to provide.--Gene
(a) See my comment for details about a Mary Cowper baptized London, 23 December 1586 to father John, and a Mary Hawkes burial Holy Trinity Minories Parish in London, City of London 3 July 1672.
(b) Consider that that the current profile of this Mary Cowper-56, sports a birth at Hingham, Norfolk on 14 Oct 1586 (some 5 years or so BEFORE the Hingham registers begin). Profile also reports she died at Hingham, about 1626.
(b) This profile calls her parents Thomas Cowper and Elizabeth. The father was supposedly born at Hingham, but then he married at Northamptonshire. The mother was apparently at one time called Elizabeth Humphrey--she's STILL reported a daughter of John Humphrey and Agnes
Edited to add. Presuming this Mary is intended to be a woman of Hingham, Norfolk, does anyone object to making the following changes,

I will try to check back on this later. You wrote, "Has anyone seen the actual marriage record." For links to the parish registers, please see Cowper-Cooper in Hingham, Norfolk, Parish Registers.
Hope this helps.--Gene
Do we know how a birth date of 14 Oct 1586 in Hingham, Norfolk, England, was devised for this Mary Cowper?
The Hingham, Norfolk registers don't begin until after 1600.
We've worked to gather the Cooper/Cowper entries from those registers onto a free space page, see Cowper-Cooper in Hingham, Norfolk, Parish Registers.
I have a couple of other questions, but will hold off making further inquiry while I work through some related items. --Gene
