COPELAND Portobello

[hineahua]

Hi to Everyone
I am researching my Mother's side of the family.
John & Annie Copeland lived in Portobello, John was a Baker and
Confectioner and had a shop in 254 High Street. John died in 1913 and his son John took over the business, he died 1956.
His sister Annie Stewart and her husband John then had the shop. After her husband died Annie took over the shop until she died 1981. I am looking for any connections to the family or anyone that can give me some information about the family.
Thank you
Regards
Hineahua (New Zealand)

Hi,
Try around Aberdeen, Rayne, Turriff, or Tough.  My Family is connected to the Hall family. One of the girls married Moses Copland as it was spelt SP.
If you get stuck you could try Alford Family History Society. There should be a link to this, if you find the links at the beginning of Aberdeen.
In your family, just to make sure, You have an Alexander Honeyman married to a daughter of the Hall family.
If you pm me I can invite you to view my family tree on Ancestry or Genes and I can then show you the connection I have and maybe that would help you with the rest of your family members. Also on Ancestry is a relative of yours also researching Copeland and Hall.

Hi Marcie

Not sure if hineahua has an Aberdeen connection with her line of Copelands. From a previous post on this line by hineahua 

www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,485331.0.html

Roots for the family look to be Ireland and Ayrshire it would seem.

Hi Monica,
Just thought that with her mentioning Portobello that she would be searching near Leith, Edinburgh.  Aberdeen is just crows flight from there
and Moses and mary did move from Aberdeen area for New Zealand eventually
if you remember you found the information for me when I was searching for my 3x grgran Marjory Charles for whom I now have via  a relative a copy of her birth certificate.  Her name was actually Marjory McDonald Charles.  Have not found where McDonald comes into it yet.  Will have to have a sleuth.

Is there a Portobello in Ireland or one in Ayrshire?
If the info I have posted is of no use to her, nothings lost.  perhaps others will be able to help. And I include you in that, sleuth extraordinaire.

Hi
The Copeland family I am researching came from Down, Ireland to Ayr and John Copeland moved to Portobello and started his Bakery business.  It was my grandmother Margaret Sullivan Copeland that emigrated to New Zealand in 1923.
I am trying to find out more about about her brothers
William Shuttleton Copeland married to Christina Deholm Currie
James Copeland married Helen Lyon Baptie
George McCall Shuttleton Copeland married Catherine Mary McInnes
I have their Birth deaths and marriages.
Any help with their children and connection would be appreciated.
Regards Hineahua
