2 cousins deaths have same reference numbers?

[Andrew Tarr]

I am fascinated by this surname.  Just for interest I looked at the 30 deaths for 1850-1869 - about half of them are recorded in Ampthill, two others are in Winslow and several more are in the London area.  I suspect the name is a variant of Copperthwaite, of which there are two recorded alongside the two cousins we are discussing here.  Maybe not surprisingly the C'thwaites come from the north of England.

What information has been gleaned from the available census returns for these two cousins?

In  both the 41 and 51 census Samuel b Blunham 1810 is down as an Ag Lab.

In the 41 census John b Marston 1819 is down as an Ag Lab but in St Mary Infirmary.

In the 51 census John has the following written for occupation which i can't decipher !

[avm228]

Dealer in Sheepskins.

Here is a copy of J.Copperwheats D cert.

I note that he is down as a 'butcher'. In the 1851 census avm 228 says he thinks his occupation is
dealer in Sheepskins but he could well have switched trades.

I have no idea who Sophia Fells is, could be a neighbour. I am looking into that. Hope i've got the correct John Copperwheat!  poli
