Hello List
Trying to find the parents of Edward Maxwell COPELAND b abt 1826 Ireland. Married to Mary OSBOURNE b 1835 d 1877 Glasgow.
In 1861 census he is listed as a Seaman born in Ireland.
Very grateful for any help.

Hi Mike,
Have you gotten his marriage cert to get this father's name and occupation ?

It will be difficult to find information without a location to start with- have a look at Introduction to Irish Records (http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,442233.0.html) and My Ancestor came from Ireland - where do I start? (http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,498742.0.html).

Hello Tara
Thank you for your reply.
No I haven't got his marriage cert because I am carrying out this research to help a disabled friend and have only just taken up the case.
Plus, I don't have the cert. details to order one from the GRO. It looks like that might be my next step.

Hi Mike,
I'm afraid that I'm not good with Scottish records.
Maybe if you post your marriage query on the Scottish board first.
Then when you get the marriage cert that should have his father's name and occupation on it - then come back to us to see can we help.
Our civil registration only began in 1864 so obviously Edward was born well before this so you will be looking for a baptism for him.
As Aghadowey has said this is going to be super hard without you having at least a county in Ireland of origin for him.

Hello Tara
I have just posted my query to the link you gave me.
They were looking for his death so they might know who his parents are.

Hi
My ancestors are the Copelands from Ireland. I have been told that the Copelands first came to Ireland in the 1300's. They supposedly emigrated from Scotland. They may be related to Laird John de Copeland. I am trying to verify this information. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Many Thanks

Hello Bida
I am carrying out this research in association with my cousin for someone else who does not have the resources to do it himself.
The information I have is:
Samuel Copeland b 1806 Irl = Mary Patinson b 1811 Irl
Son Samuel Paterson Copeland b 1835 Irl = Martha McDonald b 1843 Ayr, Scot d bef 1891 they were married 3 Nov 1862 Ayr.
They had 10 children. One of those children David Campbell Copeland b 1875 (A foolballer) = Isabella Robson b 1877. They had six children.
I also have an Edward Maxwell Copeland b 1826 Irl = Mary Osbourne b 1835 d 1877 Glasgow.
They they had six children one being William Copeland b 1858 Scot = Jessie Douglas b 1860 Lancashire they were married in 1885.
They had six children one being James Copeland b 1886 (A footballer) = Alice May Smith b 1892 married 1909 they had one son James Leslie b 1910
I am trying to link Samuel Peterson Copeland b 1835 Irl as a brother to Edward Maxwell Copeland b 1826 Irl, but to date have had no luck.
Hope some of the above helps you. If you want some more information send me your e-mail address offline.
Best wishes
Mike
