She was my great, great, great grandmother. She was christened in Ugborough on 9th March 1923. Her father was William Bunker and mother's name was Elizabeth. I think she had an illegitimate child around 1850 who became my great, great grandfather. I know of him as Henry Copeman but in 1854 Eliza married Brandford Copeman in London and I cannot find any birth records for Henry as a Copeman. As Henry was born in Ugborough and Eliza didn't marry until four years later I wonder if either he was illegitimate (if so we'll probably never find out who his real father was) or he was another member of her family's child and she took him on (who knows?) If any of this is interesting to any of your members please contact. Many thanks. Val Smith
