1851 census

Lakes, Clifton

Mary, wife age 62 b.Slonford Southill, Bedfordshire
Geoe Coppenweil,Granson age 7 b.  Clifton, Bedfordshire

John's surname is difficult to read  Stunson, Sturton Stunton ???

Good morning Tricia
How strange - in the 1861 census I think it looks like George and Mary are Copperwest, and if you go over the page, the children quite plainly seem to have their name written as Copperweit.  I wonder if it is just bad writing for George and Mary, and a bad transcription by whoever typed it up when t first went on to ancestry.com!!
The only thing is that we thought George's wife was Jane - or is that wrong now ..... starting to get confused - where did Jane come from?????
Really appreciate all your help
Kind regards
Claire

This was quite a tricky family to sort out so I am hoping this is correct. I have spent a fair amount of time on it - eliminating the other family that was floating around on 1861.

The only way to safely verify the information is to get hold of Charles' birth certificate which will give his mother's maiden name.

Sod's law again on the spelling.

Taken from civil registration

Charles Copperwate
Birth Quarter ending March 1840
Biggleswade
Vol vi
Page 67(61)?

The page number is my query, not theirs. It looks like a 7 but the writing isn't that clear and you never know.

A fossil digger would have been a coprolite digger, used as fertiliser. see http://www.cambridgeshirehistory.com/People/coproliteindustry.html

I have seen a number of these in the nearby village of Langford as well.

I think the place that Mary Sturton was born would be Stanford, a hamlet in Southill.

I'll see if I can find the Copperwheats (or however it was spelt!) in 1841

Regards

David
