Hi , the name i have on my piece of paper is Ellen copperwaite, it also says her father was a john copperwaite from eaton bray. My family tree was done by my uncle who i do not see very often (normally at christmas time) i will make a point next time i see him to find out more info .He is a clever man and i dare say has done a alot of research i also would like to find more info. If you visit the churchyard in clifton there are many headstones with the copperwaite name there must have been loads of them living around here ! best of luck with your research

Hi, I may be able to help you with Ellen from Eton Bray.  Although I do not have a direct line to Eaton Bray I do have info on them. What date am I looking for?  Original name was Copperwheat.  The Copperwaite in the church cemetery are the Copperwaites from Clifton.   
Many thanks.  Karen

Hi, I have recently discovered that Charles and Jane Copperwaite are my great, great grandparents. Their daughters Eliza and Martha moved to Luton and were living with my great grandfather Harry Lacey in 1901. The census of that year doesn't show Eliza as being in the house (10 York St) but I know that she had married Harry in Biggleswade in 1893 and when the census was taken in 1901 she would have been pregnant with my grandmother Violet Lillian Lacey who was born in October 1901. I have a photo of Eliza and various "death cards" which I'll try and post soon if anyone's interested. Chris
