That's a shame - I would love to share my Tree! Are we OK to give email addresses?

I was always hoping I'd be able to find relatives of Betty and Anne :)

..I don't have Williams Father as William Nicholls - I have him as Joseph married to Elizabeth?
 I have a photo of Eric Butterfields War Grave - he died in 1944 in Italy, aged just 24.
My Grandma, Doris Nicholls was born illegitimately in 1902 and was brought up thinking that her Grandma (Mary Jane Cooper) was her Mother, and that her Mother (Florence) was her Sister! She didn't find out the truth until just before her Marriage to my Grandad. Would love to be able to add you to my Tree now  ;D

Re: the earlier posting on the Marriage record on freebmd by Heywood, could the entry in freebmd be for 'Mary Jane Burnard' rather than 'Burnaid'?
The Devon site on Rootschat has a link to baptism records for Clovelly, in which 'burnaid' isn't listed but 'burnard' is. If so, there is a baptism reference for a Mary Jane on 26th May 1826, which would be about the right year of birth, with parents given as William and Jane. In turn there is a marriage reference for a William Burnard to a Jane Jeffery on 19th Jan 1815, which could be a connection.
Maybe this is a link to the Mary Jane listed on the 1861C at 29 Johnson St, St George in the East. Maybe!

Hi again,
That will be the transcription re the name.

Marriage: 13 April 1852 Christ Church St George in the East
Benjamin William Harvey Cooper Mariner - father William Cooper, farmer

Mary Jane Burnaid father William Burnaid, shoemaker

Both these look like 'aid' but her signature could be 'ard'

Yes, sorry, I'd already discovered the Surname was Burnard but forgot to mention. Found info using the Clovelly link on Genuki. Had seen that Marriage too. Benjamin William Harvey Cooper still a bit of a Mystery but I've found a Baptism record using Family Search for a Benjamin Williams Cooper which I think could be him as date and location are good. Gives Father as William, which is correct & mother Jane Johanna. Only found this last night!
