I sent a message - but I think the 8 week old infant is George COPPERWHEAT [your Charles COPPERWHEATs father]?

George's parents were William [b c 1780] & Elizabeth [b c 1755]
siblings:

Mary [b c 1799]
William [b c 1803]
John [b c 1807]
Charles [b c 1809]

Some of the prison sentences are here...there was another brother called Richard [? b c 1805] who was eventually transported.  And their father William spent time in Bedford Gaol

Have a look here:

Bedfordshire: Worker [Flitton]; Ames [Kempston]; Manton [Kempston]; Morris [?]; Valentine [Kempston]; Two & Osborn [Cranfield]

Herfordshire and West London: Brown [Kent in early 19th C]; Blackwell.
McCarthy [Clonakilty, County Cork - searching for needles in the haystack!] and LOSTY [Dublin]

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

If you're still wanting information regarding Ellen I might be able to help. John Copperwaite from Eaton Bray is my great grandfather I believe. His son Harry is my grandfather and Nellie was my grandmother. Harry's only daughter, June Maude who grew up in Eaton Bray, is my mother. June may have some information regarding Ellen and we still have close relatives and friends in Eaton Bray which I may be able to inquire with.
