Hi, RE: Copper Family
I’ve only found 4 children of Edith and Thomas, Peter, Rosemary, Robert and Shelia all born between 1935-1948 registered in Aldershot Dist. Who was the 5th?
Siblings of Edith Copper are –
Clara May Copper b.1897-1955 (Didn’t marry).
Hilda Bertha Copper b.7 Aug 1898- 1990 married 29 Sep 1962 to Widow Victor Thomas Willis b.18 Aug 1895 – 1972 (No Children).
Dorothy Rose Copper b.13 Apr 1902 – 1980 married 1 Jun 1925 to John Edward George Marley b.1902 – 1967 (2 Boys John & David).
Nellie Irene Copper b.10 Jan 1909 –1909 Dec qtr.
Edith’s Parents are Mossy Rose Watts b.1872-1948 dau of Charles Watts & Harriet Lamb who married in 1854. (They had about 9 other children). She married 23 May 1896 to Charles Copper b.1866 – 1932.
Charles Coppers parents are Thomas Copper b.1827 – 14 Aug 1901 he married 5 May 1855 to Eliza Honeyborn b.1835 – 18 Dec 1905 (They had 10 Children altogether one being my Gt Grandmother) they all married and had children except 2 who died young and one of them immigrated to Australia.
Thomas Copper (1827) was the baseborn son of Mary Ann Copper b.1807 Egypt Africa – 20 Jan 1876. She married Widow William Harwood (who already had 8 Children with his first wife) in 1843 and had 2 children with him; her fathers name was Charles Copper b. abt 1768, she had a brother John born East India/at Sea.
Eliza Honeyborn (1835) was the baseborn dau of Elizabeth Honeyborn b.1801 – 8 Jan 1886. She married in 1845 to Widow Richard Pike b.1794 – 1847; it’s possible that Eliza may be the dau of Richard, she married under the surname Honeyborn but her baptism in 1835 is under the surname Pike. Her parents were John Honeyborn & Dinah Munday both born c 1767-1770.
There is no mention or connection with any ‘Copperthwaites’ in the family at present.
P.S - Sorry for the late reply, my hard drive went bang, Thankfully I had most stuff backed up.
