I am researching a Protestant ( C of Ire.) family who live in Termon Beg (means Termon 'little') There is also a Termon More somehwat nearby - in the same barony.

Can you tell me if Robert the florist was Catholic ? Also are you able to share a picture of his obituary. I am researchin on behalf of Copleys who settled in Ontario in about 1905.

If Robert is Protestant, ther is high likleihood of cousin relation.

Re: Copley - Selby, Hull, Nottingham

harrycmcewan — 2011-02-15 09:01:43Z

I am trying to get information about the ancestors of a Herbert Copley,the father of my maternal aunt.
Herbert would have been born in the late 19th Century (contemporaneous with the time of Joseph's marriage and move to Notts.).
He was a resident of Nottingham, and may have been born there.
He married Annie Maud Withnell and they had 2 children, Sydney and Irene. He worked at the Victoria Railway Station Telegraph Office, and after a period of ill health, he died in 1940.
I had come across the names of Robert and Joseph before but have been unable to say if there is a link to my family.
I was wondering if Herbert may perhaps have been the son of Joseph. Do you have any information on this?
Would much appreciate hearing from you.

Herbert Copley

harrycmcewan — 2011-02-04 15:32:02Z

Am looking for information on the ancestors of Herbert Copley. Not sure when he was born but it would have been around 1875,possibly in Derbyshire or Leicestershire.Moved to Gedling, Nottinghamshire with his wife Annie Withnall in about 1901 and worked in the Victoria Station Railway Telegraph office in Nottingham. He and Annie had two children Sydney and Irene. He died in 1940.

Thanks for the quick rely. Can you give me the 14 children of George and Susannah? I only have 12. I'm wondering if I didn't mess something up, as I have George as 1 of 14.

Re: George Copley, Jr. and Mary "Polly" Roan marriage and children

ThomasJDezern — 2010-11-21 03:33:10Z

The US censuses indicate William & Mary Roan Copley had no ch. The 1850 Cen shows Penicey, 17 & John, 14 living with George, Jr., but they are siblings not ch. William, John, & Penicey were 3 of the 14 ch of George & Susannah. Two doors fr George,& them in 1850 are William 25 & Sallie, 45. I believe that this is the William that Penicey m, but have not researched William nor Sallie. Tom DeZern

George Copley, Jr. and Mary "Polly" Roan marriage and children

I have a George Copley, Jr. married to Mary "Polly" Roan on 18 Aug 1842. I have their children as Penisy, b about 1833 and John, b about 1836. I have Polly b about 1820. While possible, the dates seem unlikely, especially since I have Penisy marrying her uncle, William Copley. Any help in resolvoing this apparent issue would be appreciated!

James Copley and Celey Hearon

Mason58 — 2010-08-08 02:27:38Z

I am looking for documentary information that links my 5th great-grandfather James Copley/Coplea (b. 1775, Montgomery County, VA) and his wife Celey Hearon/Hearn (b. 1781, Wythe County, VA) with their parents. According to Wythe County records, they were married on 18 March 1800. The numerous histories that I have discovered, mostly on the internet, conflict and are not sourced. Some say, for instance, that James Copley is the son of William Copley and Zellah Geighart, while others say Thomas Copley and Mary Day are his parents. I've collected many census records and land/tax records but none seem to answer the question of who were James' parents. Where the histories say one way or the other, they don't explain or source their assertion. I am sure those of you who are researching this question also have experienced the complexity added by the other Copley family in the area with similar names, the county boundary shifts during that time period, second marriages, and the moving around the country (VA-IL-UT). I welcome anyone's help and would be happy to share everything I've found to get to the bottom of this mystery. Thanks!

JOHNCOPLEY80 — 2010-05-30 16:33:53Z

As someone who has a greater interest in this than many, I've done a fair amount of digging.

I believe the most likely position is that given by William Paley Baildon in 2 articles in the Proceedings of the Thoresby Society, in 1926 and 1928. He starts

The earlier portions of the printed pedigrees of the Copleys consists of the usual tissue of absurdities and fabrications. Adam Copley, we are gravely told, was killed at the seige of York in 1070, a favourite beginning of the Elizabethan pedigree mongers.

They did know how to write a good put-down in those days!

It's one of several myths about the Copleys. I have tried to summarise all that I know on-line, at

Re: Winfield Scott Copley/Luella Carey

barb1welch — 2010-04-09 03:07:26Z

I am researching my father's line. My father's name is Carmel Copley, his father's name is Benjamin Copley listed on the 1920 census in Washington County Arkansas as Bennie with Luella as his mother and Winfield as Bennie's father. Bennie married my grandmother Verna Pennel in Prarie Grove Arkansas in 1923 as I found the marriage certificate on line. I guess Ance and Ira explain why I have a twin brother and sister. My grandmother divorced Benjamin and moved to Missouri.The only thing I know about Benjamin is that he was in jail.

Myron and Wardner Lawrence

I'm looking for info two sons of Eliza (Todd) and Richard Lawrence from St. Lawrence Co., NY. Wardner was born Feb 9, 1883 in St. Lawrence Co., Ny, married Mary Ellen Davidson; and he died March 26, 1946 in Louisiana. Myron was born Dec. 30, 1880. He first married Uraine Lucia Lescale in September 1915, she died in June 1916. He then marries Lucie Marie Sondack in July 1947. Both marriages took place in Louisiana. Myron died October 28, 1956. Myron and Lucie lived at 4716 Canal Street, which Lucie sold after Myron's death, which was in August 1958. She moved from New Orleans, in fact out of Louisiana. The info I'm looking for is: (1) did Wardner and Mary Ellen had any children?, (2) Did Myron and Lucie have any children? (3) where are Wardner and Mary Ellen buried? and (4) where in Orleans Parish are Myron and Uraine buried?. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

RUBY COPLEY /JORDAN

JennJust76 — 2010-03-20 18:24:36Z

I am looking for info on Ruby Copley; she was my paternal grandmother and passed away in the late 80s I believe.
She married my grandfather Charles Theodore Justice in (I think) Greenup, KY Aug, 21, 1936. They had 3 children: a son (my Dad) and two daughters.

I am having a very tough time finding information on Ruby's parents and her siblings. I know my great-grandmother was Ora, but legend has it that she had quite a few husbands: the last names I have come up with are Copley, Jordan, Sheets, and Bailey. I hear Ruby's biological father did not end up being the man who raised her. However with all of Ora's husbands I have no idea who the biological or stepfather is. There seems to be an endless list of half and step-children as well, and I cannot make sense of it all for the life of me!
If anyone one has any information, I'd love to hear it. (There is a post on here with an inquiry about Ruby, but it is from 2005; I replied via email to the poster, but thought I'd take a shot on the board itself. )

Re: Adam Copley b. 1065

stuartstarkey — 2010-03-12 20:46:23Z

I have heard the story of Adam being killed in the rebellion at York in 1069 but I have also heard it described as romantic fiction.
If Adam had rebelled against the Normans and been killed then wouldn't his family have also been killed in the harrowing of the north which followed in reprisal.
On the other hand in 1220 Jordan de Talvace granted land at Skircoat in Halifax to Hugh, son of Thomas de Talvace. Hugh adopted the name of Copley.
John de Talvace was vicar of Halifax in 1185 and a brother in law of third Earl Warren- See "The Story of Old Halifax" p34.
