I am looking for any information about John Cope in Beverley.
He married Ann (Swaby) 12 July 1807 in Beverley
They had 3 children Grace 1808, John 1809 and Joseph 1811 all baptised in Beverley.
Ann was buried at Beverley St John 8 July 1814 aged 26
Grace remained in the Beverley area.
John and Joseph were next found in Barnsley where they both married.
Looking for any information regarding John senior such as, where he was born, or what happened to him, after his wife died in 1814.
Any help will be very much appreciated.
Thanks

Have you found him on any census - he must have been born in the 1780's if he married in 1807

There's a tree on A......y that has John born 1785 in Pontefract, son of William Cope & Mary C.
Discrepancy on the tree is that his wife is Ann Swaby, but his wife died as Nancy Ann in 1864 in Barnsley.

Thanks for the replies from you both.
I have not managed to find him on a census or found another marriage for him but I do still keep trying.
I have seen the tree on line and I know that the Nancy/Ann who died in 1864 aged 45 Barnsley is a wife of Joseph Cope born 1811, and the age is incorrect with the Ann/Nancy Swaby who married in 1807.
My dilemma is that I cannot prove where John was born so cannot use the birth in Pontefract.
I don't know anywhere else to look for John and was hoping that someone might be able to suggest other records. But I do realise that I am probably never going to find out more about him.
Thank you again for helping.
