Hello Becky & Alf

I am looking for connections between Mayer & Cope.  Trying to find out about an old family story of dodgy dealings with a will.

Alf - thank you for the website I have found some relies from other trees who are all related in one way or another.

Hi Delta

Where are your Mayer family located?  I have some Mayer's in my tree in the Staffordshire Moorlands areas.

Hello Crystal

My Copes are from Staffordshire.  They are married to the Upton family.  However I can't work out how they come to be related to Mayer.  I have a James Cope and a William Cope who had a daughter Sarah.

Hi Delta

I haven't yet come across any Cope's or Upton's but I have not done a lot of research on them yet.  The Mayer's in my tree married into my Johnson family - I also have them linked to Corbishley, Rushton and Jenkinson families mainly in the Hilderstone and Fulford areas.  Any help?

Hi Crystal

Sadly none of your relations sound familiar.  I am not having much luck with mine, good luck with yours.

I have a Mary Cope who married Thomas Goodwin in Fulford (near Stone) in 1863 at St Nicholas. Same branch of Copes?

My G-G-grandmother was Amy Amander Cope (born 1834) married James Heath in 1855. Amy's parents were Thomas & Eliza Cope both born Cir 1801.
The Newchapel parish registers contain a number of the Cope family. (Newchapel is only a couple of miles from Tunstall).

Don't suppose this will help much, but the birth of (Victoria) Agnes dau. of George Cope was registered in Wolverhampton 1839 iii.
I think she was b. at Tettenhall, where she was m. on 15 Aug. 1866 to Thomas Herbert Laurence, stock jobber.

In the 1891 census you'll find them in Godstone, Surrey.
I think he too was known by his middle name; in at least one census that's given as Hubert, and in at least one the surname is shown as Lawrence.

They're just in-laws in my tree, so that's all I have on them.

Hello, I am researching my family tree. I was born in stone Staffordshire . My maternal grandfather was Norman Atkins Cope . My great great uncles (amongst others) were twins, James and John cope born in 1895, their mother was Olive Stanier from Aston and their father was Edward Thomas Cope I believe.  On my fathers side I have traced my family back to the Sawyer family of Norton in the Moors (Staffordshire Moorlands)and I believe that my great great great grandfather, William Sawyer married Mary Mayer.
I am surprised to find this link between the Cope's and the Mayer on my mother's side and  also on my father's side!!!
Does anyone have any more information?
Thanks!

Btw, Frirsh,
My great great auntie was called Mary Cope , daughter of olive cope (née Stanier), sister of James and John Cope. She was born in Stone in 1890.
