Copper
« on: Sunday 07 February 10 21:12 GMT (UK) »
I am looking for some dates for the following people. I would like the death dates and if they married.
Clara May Copper born 1897 born in Elvetham Hampshire
Hilda Copper born 1898 born in Elvetham Hampshire
Dorothy Rose Copper born 1902
Their fathers name was Charles born in 1867 and the mother name was Moss Rose born 1872. I dont know the father or mother of Charles or Moss Rose.

Use freebmd to come up with candidate deaths and marriages.
Order certs to check.

Same with parents, you should be able to come up with marraiges AND birth refs for them in the 1860's

You should also be in with a good chance of locating them in 1881 based on age & birthplace.

Hi

As Pauline said try freebmd http://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.pl

Dorothy at least got married:

Dorothy R Copper
Spouse Marley
June quarter 1925
Hartley W
2C 467

This is the same district as Clara's birth so should help when you are looking for the others

Have you used the free sites to search for clues?

The 1881 census is free to search at:

http://www.familysearch.org

You should be able to find Moss Rose (such an unusual name, let's hope she used both on the census) on that and therefore find her parents.  (From information given previously here:
http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,432620.msg2976097.html#msg2976097
she was Moss Rose Watts.

Charles Copper can also be found in Elvetham - what's more not only are his parents listed, but also his mother's mother!  Bonus.  You do need to confirm your findings with certificates - the marriage certificate in 1896 for Charles & Moss Rose will give both parties' father's names.

Then there is FreeBMD:

http://www.freebmd.org.uk/

which may give you clues as to marriages and spouse names.

Dorothy Rose seems to have married in 1925, spouse name John Marley.  I cannot see anything for the other two  on a quick cursory search.

I see others have also given the same advice.  ;)
