Thank you Nicky, for the information re Emma Copeland, I will have that checked out & see if that is indeed her marriage, lovely if it is, gives me another lead to follow

My son is hoping to visit London shortly to order some certs. for William Francis Copeland (found he died in 1915) and also look for his son Benjamin`s death cert
sometimes, as you no doubt know, these certs often give a lead to go further, so he can also order the one for Emma, hopefully that too will give some more info.

Thanks again for your help, it is most appreciated.
I notice that you are researching family in Essex, can we be of any help to you for that? my son has several census fiche for 1841/1851 & a few for 1861
 for various parts of Essex, he has been researching my late husband`s family for quite a number of years now, my husband had been put into a childrens home when very young & knew nothing about his parents or any family, so over the past 12 years(since his death) my son has  dug up a lot of information on them, he does now and then, pay a visit to Chelmsford to dig about in the parish records, fortunately all the Jarvis family appear to have originated  in Essex, which makes life a little bit easier!
My lot however!! a mixture of Scottish/Irish/English &

Canadian, so it has been a bit of a nightmare!!  to trace them
So do let me know what area in Essex you are researching to see if we can be of any help
Thanks again
