Hi Jim,

Are this couple living in  Great Grimbsy. Lincolnshire by the time of the 1861 Census?
If so (according to Freecen transcription) , Susanna Copeland's birthplace is Ireland.

What makes you think Susanna is born in Portpatrick?
There is a family on 1841 Census at Portpatrick living in what could be a large household with a couple of other families (either that or the transcriber has not been aware of different heads of house) -
Johnston Smith      age 32     Mason         Ireland
Susan Smith          age 29      Wife           Ireland
James Smith          age 12      Son            Ireland
Hugh Smith            age 10      Son              **
Susan Smith           age 6       Dau               **
Johnston Smith       age 4       Son               **
John Smith             age 1       Son            Wigtownshire

The family obviously have arrived in Scotland during the late 1830s/1840 period. Could this be Susanna Smith and her family, if you believe your Susanna has a Portpatrick connection?

Looby  :)

If Susan was born in Scotland - have you not checked Scotland’s People for a marriage?  Why check English marriages unless you have info about the family that is not included in your post

The family I found on 1861 Census at Great Grimsby are living on Cleethorpe Road -

COPELAND   Charles   Head   M  30  Blacksmith  Ireland
COPELAND   Susanna  Wife    M  27                   Ireland
COPELAND   Mary        Dau          8   Scholar     Lincolnshire - Gt Grimsby
COPELAND   Charles     Son          4   Scholar     Lincolnshire - Gt Grimsby
COPELAND   John Thomas  Son     2   Scholar     Lincolnshire - Gt Grimsby

0f course, I don't know if this is the couple Salonika has posted about. But with the mention of checking English marriage records I thought it feasible that the people he is researching might be in England.  The above record is per Freecen transcription.

Looby :)
