births were registered in the area they took place an not necessarily where the parents were living i.e. if they were visitng or perhaps working outside of their area, a person may not know he she was born outside of their town of residence if the family had lived theior for a long time

Thank you for that information Dawn.

I had noticed the 1871 entry and interpreted PoB as Kennington so the 1891 census entry is helpful.

Will take another look at this later.  There may not be a birth registration but we ought to be able to find Eliza on the 1851 census - famous last words!  Smiley

Hello Dawn

Thank you for all that new information.

I am beginning to think the Eliza in the 1851 census is not my ancestor who married Daniel Hallett but i still don't think her maiden name was Copyes perhaps I'll throw the six letters in the air and see how they land.

I'll be at the LMA tomorrow.

I'll look at the 1860 original marriage entry to see if there are any clues there ie how the register was signed by the bride and groom, if the witnesses were the parish professionals or not.

Back to after the 1891 census, Carrie Harrie married in 1892 according to Freebmd, the others on the page are Henry Egglestone William Conford and Jane Bish, haven't had time to find them in 1901. In 1901 Robert appears to be in Barracks.

'If' Caroline Copsey the aunt is yours, she appears to remarry and can be found in 1861 with William Ogilvy in Islington.

Hi Dawn

Thank you again for all the information.

Hi Buzz

I've been to the LMA and checked out a couple of things for you and have posted the same info on all your 'Cospey' requests as different people are helping you out on each.

Re: The marriage at St Pancras in 1860, I assume you have a copy but that will be a transcription made by the vicar or parish clerk

In the original register

Daniel Hallett signed his name

Eliza signed her names as Copyss

Benjamin Ward is the parish professionl witness, his name is all over the register

Matilda Salter's X mark

Re: the 1842 Baptism

This actually took place at St Pancras Church on the Euston Road, not the Old Church which is 1/2 mile away.

22 Jan 1842 Eliza Copsey (dau of) William & Ann Copsey (Abode) Cromer St (Quality Trade or Profession) Carpenter

I don't know if anyone with access to the 1841 census can find this street and see if this family is there

Hi Dawn

Thank you for replying regarding your visit to the LMA. 

As I said in one of my previous posts, I am now beginning to think that my Eliza is not the one in the 1851 Census living at Cromer Street and the Eliza on the IGI site who was born November 1841.

I have come to this conclusion for the following reasons: 
The 1861, 71 and 81 Census that I have are definitely her because my g grandfather Walter is on the 71 and 81 Census and it is the same family on the 61 Census.
You then finding her in the 1891 Census which I believe is correct because she had her daughter Carrie with her who was also in the 81 Census, and stating that her place of birth was Lambeth and the 1871 Census 'scribble' I do now believe is Kennington.
The Eliza Copsey who was found in the 1841 and 51 Census stated that her place of birth was St. Pancras.
I would be very surprised if her maiden name was Copyes as I have stated before the only time I have found this on the Free BMD site is on her marriage certificate and Walter's birth certificate.

I am now going to try spelling her maiden name in a number of different ways, starting with C and then trying an assortment of letters afterwards that come near to the sound of Coppice, Copas, Copus, and onwards.

I would also like to thank Barbara and Toni who have contributed their knowledge to this posting.

Hi Buzz

I think you have most propbably arrived at the correct conclusions with the baptism and 1841 census.

I know it's disappointing when that happens but your search goes on and Rootschatters will help you out along the way I'm sure.

Your approach to her surname and its variant spellings is a good one. I'm sure there could be several versions as she signed the marriage register with another one, Copyss. I know Toni came up with a few possibles. Freebmd is also useful in this regard. Although it's not complete, doing a surname search and analysing the location of the results can often throw up some surprises. There's also a Copas entry in the surname interest table at the bottom of this page

If you are going to follow the Lambeth and Kennington leads, don't forget to use the Surrey boards as historically that's where they were.

Happy hunting

Dawn

Hi Buzz

I've noticed (on another thread) that you say

Quote
I now believe her name was Eliza Casey registered June 1842 at St. Saviour's, Southwark

http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,309576.0.html

If she signed her name COPYSS wouldn't it be more likely to be COPYSS or perhaps COPPICE or even COPUS rather than CASEY Huh

Kennington should come under the registration district of Lambeth.

Hello Casalguidi thank you for your reply.

Eliza's son Walter Hallett  married Annie Bedford at St. Saviour's Southwark which I could not understand as they both came from St. Pancras.

On a previous listing on this page Dawn states that she found Eliza in the 1891 Census and her place of birth was Lambeth.  This may account for why Walter and Annie married at St. Saviour's, or am I clutching at straws?

As I have said previously, I still do not believe Eliza's maiden name was Copyes so am looking for alternatives close to that spelling.  The Eliza Casey that I have stated I thought was close, another is an Eliza Copping who was born December quarter 1842 in Lambeth or an Eliza Cuckow at St. Saviour's June quarter 1841.

From the ages on the Censuses that I have found, I believe Eliza was born c1841-2 so have not looked further than those years for her date of birth.

Again, if anyone can give me any information on this, I would be very grateful.

Hi Buzz

Until you find her on the census, (which we are trying to do) I would hold off on buying more certs, unless you have bottomless pockets  Wink

Please refer back to my post #11 on the 1st page.
