Hello! I would be very grateful if anyone is able to help decipher my x5 great-grandfather's will from 1852 - I can read some of it but I seem to be struggling a bit with the handwriting.

Thank you in advance!

Derbyshire Lookup Requests / Re: Thomas Cope, born Doveridge, Derbyshire, around 1774
« on: Saturday 26 July 14 08:08 BST (UK)  »
I have had a look to try to find the baptism of George and while I cannot find one in Doveridge I have found a few possible baptisms in Staffordshire between 1738 and 1745:

George Cope baptised 3 December 1738 in Alton, parents are William and Mary Cope.

George Cope baptised 4 February 1739 in Abbots Bromley, parents are George and Esther Cope.

George Cope baptised 22 May 1739 in Draycott-in-the-Moors, parents are Obed and Katherine Cope.

George Cope baptised 4 August 1745 in Leigh, parents are George and Ellen Cope.

I think that the first baptism in Alton seems highly likely to be him as he named his first born daughter Mary and first born son William. Also, his son Thomas was living in Alton in 1841 and 1851.

Hi Sarra,

I'm so glad that I've been able to help you!

I can confirm that George Cope and Elizabeth Smith married on 19 February 1765.

Unfortunately I am having to rely on transcriptions from Ancestry, but I am hoping to get to the Derbyshire Record Office in Matlock soon, in which case I will double check everything and post anything else I find.

Hi Deirdre,

I was unable to find a burial for Thomas in Doveridge. I saw that in 1851 he was living in Alton, Staffordshire so I'm guessing his death was registered in Uttoxeter.

Below are some burials I found for George and Elizabeth's other children:

Mary Cope buried on 4 April 1809 in Doveridge.

Anne Cope buried on 13 November 1802 in Doveridge.

Jeremiah Cope buried on 31 March 1801 in Doveridge.

Esther Cope buried on 4 December 1789 in Doveridge.

I couldn't find a burial in Doveridge for George or Elizabeth. Also, I can only find Thomas and Samuel in census returns with Doveridge listed as their place of birth so I wonder if they were all born just over the border in Staffordshire but baptised and some buried in Doveridge?

Hi Mike,
