Hi
I'm having trouble locating Edward and Rosetta Coppock on the 1881 census. I have them on the 1871 living in Cone St, Westoe, South Shields and have the records of their death in 1885 in South Shields workhouse so they are still around in 1881 but where? Any help or guidance would be appreciated.
Thanks
Sharon.

There's this from 1881 - is it them?
Reference RG11, Piece 5016, Folio 68, Page 36
Back Addison Street, Westoe, South Shields
Coppack, Edward Head M 62 Seaman b South Shields
Coppack, Ann Wife F 60 b South Shields

No its not, they are family but not who I am looking for.
Edward was born 1813 and Rosetta 1815 (sorry should have said that in my first post)
Thanks,
Sharon.

Hmmm? Not sure about that! ;D
1851 census, living at Westoe, Rosetta 33, Edward 38, Mary12, George 6, William 3, Bell Wallace 9 months.
1861 census, living at Westoe, Rosetta 41, Edward 46, George 17, William 14, Edward 7
1871 census, living at Westoe, Rosetta 51, Edward 57, Edward 17
Then:
Deaths, December qtr 1885
South Shields district vol 10a, page 347
Coppock, Rosetta age 69
Also, same qtr vol 10a, page 352
Coppock, Edward age 72
That 1881 census looks good to me! ;D

It would solve a lot of problems if it were them. There ages are different on various bits I have but would Rosetta be called Ann? One thing I do know on their death records they didn't die as paupers (even though they died in the workhouse) so maybes that would explain the servant. I have looked at this record so many times and always talked myself out of it but perhaps it is them.
Thanks,
Sharon.
