Title: Lookup Req - Copland of Anderston, Glasgow
Post by: Aussie Pom on Tuesday 09 September 08 14:20 BST (UK)

Hi

I am trying to find a birth for a John Copland (sometimes Copeland) born abt 1817 in Anderston. Father was John Copland and mother Elizabeth Gilmour.

Any other family member details would be great too. I found a Robert Copland born there in 1797 who could also possibly be related.  I haven't been very sucessful locating any information.
Thanks :) :)

Hello,

I don't know if you've found their marriage on the IGI or SP:

John Copland and Elizabeth Gilmour mar. 3rd February 1805 in Glasgow

The original image on SP shows that John (who was a weaver) was of Anderston parish and Elizabeth of Barony.

Hi Paul

I haven't found many Copland/Copelands in my family from Anderston. However, i understand the population there in 1791 was about 4000.

John Copland b abt 1785 in Anderston married an Eliz Gilmour in 1805 in Barony. John and Elizabeth had a son, John born 1810-1817 possibly in Anderston. I also think they may have had the following childrens: Janet b 1810, Elizabeth b 1826 and William b 1821.

I did locate a Robert Copland born 1797/99 in Anderston who was an Iron Dresser. (I think i found him in a 1841 or 1851 census??).

Do any of these names connect to your Copelands/Coplands? What are the names of yours?

Thanks
Charlotte

Hello Aussie Pom

I've only just joined Rootschat, I don't know if the following is still any use to you...

John Copland (c1810-1875) was my 3rd great grandfather. I haven't been able to find a birth/baptism record, but I have a Statutory Death Record (1875) and an Old Parish Marriage Record (to Jean Carse, 1833). I've also located him on censuses from 1851/61/71.

Please get back to me if you need any more details.

DC :)
