Down / Alexander Donning (Denning) - barony of Ards Co. Down
« on: Thursday 17 October 19 02:45 BST (UK)  »
I wondering if anyone can help  - re: Alexander Donning (born about 1764 - died 1819) who married Jane Bailie (born about 1763 died 1831) - who married about 1789.   Nothing is known about the couple, only what is written here.  They were believed to have been from Drumardin ,  Co. Down.     We are not sure if they were original from Co. Down, or born and married elsewhere in Ireland.   (they were Presbyterians)

They had two known children: Alexander (1795) and Elizabeth (1798) and possibly Samuel and Jane.

We have information on their two children  Alexander and Elizabeth   no need for information there    ( which saves a lot of  time looking, as I appreciated that time is valuable )  -  it is only their parents and possible other children the parents may have had - that I am finding hard to locate.     Maybe - no records go back that far, for Co. Down.   

Thank you.

Pat.  NZ

Hi Carol
Will be contacting the older members of the family to see if they have a copy of the marriage cert, if not will order a copy

If they are her parents, you mentioned 'Lambeth', is this still in Nottingham area or elsewhere?

After 1948 - Ernest and Mary (Copeland) Johnson migrated to Australia with their 4 children.

Hi
The information was from ancestry website - however, it looks like a mistake, as her mother's maiden may have started with a 'R or a P' (that was the talk of family).   On the death cert, maiden name is unknown,   J,

Hi rosie99
We were always lead to believe that her name was 'Eliza'  as it
appeared on the sons death cert.   The Informant must not have known of
the mother's name.

Just wondering if anyone can help with information regarding the Copeland family of Nottingham.  Mary Ann M. Copeland was born in 1920, I have her parents listed below, that is all I have.   Would like to find out of there were other children (siblings), and also any info re: her parents.

Mary did marry - (not sure where) to Ernest Lewis Johnson around 1937/38.  He was from Derbyshire - so not sure if they married there, or in Nottingham.

Mary Ann Moisey Copeland
b. September 1920
F. William M. Copeland
