Hi I am looking for help with the above and her parents,
Hannah Elliott bn 1816 Ecclesfield (per Census 1841 to 1891) death 1897 Barnsley
married Michael Copley in Barnsley in 1834
Their Children were
Charles Copley christened Ecclesfield 4/1/1835 before GRO
Moses Copley Christened Ecclesfield 30/4/1837 before GRO
Samuel Copley GRO 22 451 1839 Rotherham MMN Gothard
David Copley cannot find a record for him
Alfred Copley GRO 22 476 1845 Rotherham MMN Elliott
Edward Copley GRO 22 456 1847 Rotherham MMN Elliott
Michael Copley GRO 22 553 1850 Rotherham MMN Elliott
John Copley GRO 9c 373 1853 Rotherham MMN Gothard (Born after fathers death)
Hannah then married George Saxton 1855 in Sheffield They had 2 Children George MMN Elliott
and Clara I cannot find on GRO
I decided to get this certificate Hannah's fathers name is Samuel Gothard I believe he married a Sophia Elliott 5/7/1818 at Rotherham
I'm guessing that Hannah was illegitimate as she seems to have been born before parents marriage.
but I can't find any birth for Hannah mother Sophia
And I can't find any birth record for Sophia Elliott, on the census 1841 to 1861 she was born at Chapeltown Yorkshire
Any help would be much appreciated

Have checked my subscription site and like you can find very little. Have never come across a woman with 2 maiden names! Understandable however as b before parents married.
Have looked for her as Hannah Goddard/Gothard with no luck.
I can confirm a ma on 5/7/1818 at Rotherham Minster between Samuel Goddard and Sophia Elliott.
Both were single, of the parish, by Banns. Witnesses were : Mary Ramsdins (? Ramsden?) and John Jessop and both signed with a x.
Charles son of Michael Copley and Hannah was b at Thorp Hesley
Clara Saxton - poss b 1859 - I found a bu 31/8/1929 aged 70 at Thorp Hesley so likely her but I cant find her on GRO either.
There is an 1881 cen for David Copley with wife Sarah at Barley Hole hamlet, Thorp Hesley showing a b date of 1842.
This is a very elusive family. Best of luck.
