Hi Elizabeth  :)

I think there was some confusion  :-\

Rosemary (subaru) found a possible for the family in 1841 living at Low ?, Whickham, Durham. Then bingorudd suggested Low Road.
Neither postings referred to the original Cumberland place name so I just wanted to clarify things.

Regards

Just a thought - can you get any of their birth certificates which may give the place name more accurately.

Thank you to all who have replied here...sorry i didn't get back sooner...been on holiday! Thanks especially to Gadget... I think its very likely to be Orton Rigg...right area, near enough to Wetheral where her husband was from. The Great Orton records are on the IGI but sadly she didn't seem to marry there so may be another brick wall till I can find her maiden name...still I'll know where to look now.  :D
 Rosemary....Yes that was the right 1841 address...they moved to Durham between 1838 and 1840.
 Judy.....Elizabeth was born in c 1794 so before birth certs, but thanks to all for your suggestions.

If you get a birth cert of one of the later (after 1837) COPELAND children, it will give the mother's maiden name.  That may enable you to find the baptism of a suitable Elizabeth on the IGI.
Don't cry because its over. Smile because it happened.
