Hi Jeanette,
Sorry it should have been Sarah Mayer not Martha, heres some info on her and family that once again I can't guarantee but think is correct.

Obadiah Mayer dob 1768 died 1814. Two other Obadiahs died 1832 and 1838. Married Sarah Unsworth 12/Aug 1792, her dob unknown.
Children  James   Baptized 9 Jun 1793      All Baptisms St Johns Burslem so must have known
                                                                  the Copes
               Mary       Baptized 19 Oct 1794
               Ann         Bapttized 28 Oct 1798
               Joseph    Baptized 12 Apr 1801
               Sarah      Baptized 17 Oct 1802    If your 1811 is correct all these wrong
               Martha1  Baptized 25 Aug 1805 - Died 3 Dec 1806
               Elizabeth Baptized ?? 1808
               Martha2  Baptized 12 Aug 1810 = Married Henry Phillips in Hanley 1838.

I haven't followed any of these as to marriages and children, nor the Copes. There was a bunch of Mayers in Uttoxeter and Burton on Trent 1820 to 1870 but have to leave you something to do.

To Scottish Quine aka Jeanette,
Following up on your note earlier, regarding William Cope/Martha Mayer, whilst neither are on my tree I think the following connections are correct but can't swear to them. You may wish to follow the threads.

William Cope (dob somewhere around 1765 but can't be sure)}Married around 1792 but no
Hannah ?? (dob about 1771 according to 1841 Census)           }record found

Children    Ann -        Baptized 20 Jan 1793 Twins       All Baptisms @ St Johns Burslem
                 Mary -       Baptized 20 Jan 1793 Twins                            "
                 John  -      Baptized 19 Oct 1794                                      "
                 Elizabeth  Baptized 9 Oct 1796                                        "
                 Hannah    Baptized 14 Jan 1798                                      "
                 William     Born 24 Nov 1799 Baptized 26 Jun 1803 Twins             "  nb see below
                 Sarah       Born 24 Nov 1799 Baptized 26 Jun 1803 Twins             "
                 Maria1       Baptized 21 Feb 1802 Died about 1806             " 
                 Robert      Baptized 1804                                                    "
                 Maria 2     Baptized 26 June 1808 Twins                             "
                 Thomas    Baptized 26 June 1808 Twins                             "

 William did marry Sarah Mayer in 1835 but I think she is possibly the daughter of Obadiah Mayer born/baptized 17 Oct 1802 also at St John Burslem, but I'm not positive. There are lots of Oba(e)diahs around too. Sarah had a bunch of siblings from 1792 to 1808. Have fun !!

I am new here and only signed up to Rootsweb yesterday. Had difficulty finding this particular site but got help from Lesley (Thanks)

My reason is that I have a fairly substantial tree (980) which includes the Mayers/Meares/De Meres/Mieris etc back to the early Saxons of Wulfric Spot about 870 ad). My grandfathers middle name was Mayer and he was the son of Lucy Willcocks (nee Ridgway) of the well known potters who were intermarried with the Mayers in Hanley and Stoke in the early 19th century.

I have the tree set up on MS Excel and would be pleased to forward parts of it to anyone interested.  I will be following various threads on this site to fill in my own blank spots. I am in British Columbia so a rather long way from my own roots.

Thanks UK1941

I'm new here but noticed your post in Woolstanton Records chat room. I have a substantial tree (980) of Mayers/Adams/Ridgways using MS Excel layout but can't find that Chat Room here. Any sugestions welcome
