Help please Re Robert Copeman

[Jaejae40]

I am trying to confirm that Robert Copeman who died in North Sydney Australia in 1917 and who lived in Hornsby NSW is the same Robert Copeman born 1857 Norwich Norfolk England. I would like any information also re his means of getting to Australia.

What other information is on his death certificate, and what other information have you about him?

Thanks

Who are you researching?

Robert Copeman who died in North Sydney Australia in 1917.......or......
Robert Copeman born 1857 Norwich Norfolk England.

If it can be shown that they are not the same man, which Robert COPEMAN would you still be interested in.....the man born 1857 Norwich, England.....or the man who died 1917, NSW, Australia

Thank you for responding to my query. If they are not the same Robert Copeman then the one I'm trying to trace back is the Robert Copeman who died 13/2/1917 aged 59 and who was born Norwich England. Father and Mother not known on death certificate. Robert was a labourer and his adds show up in the Sands Directories Sydney NSW giving his address as Hornsby. I'm not sure how to go from here I have nothing concrete.
