Hi Maureen, Where is Hannah Baker/Cope in 71. Does she remarry or say she is a widow in any census. I find it a bit unusual that they married in 1853 but didn't have a child until 1860. Does this mean Matthew was working away perhaps or in the army? Just bouncing ideas around really. You might have tried lots of things.

Hi Barbara and Louise Thanks for the replies. Barbara - I have found a death of a Hannah COPE in Derby in 1864 - so presumed that was her as Eunice was living with her aunt at the time. In the 1861 census she is down as being married. Louise - I cannot find the Matthew and Anna that you are on about in Pennsylvania. I can see a Mathew Cope with one "t" of the correct age - so am probably not looking in the correct place. But that could certainly have been an idea! Possibly I should send away for the death certificate and see if there is any information on it to prove that it is her. Unfortunately it is a couple of months too early to state the age of death Thanks for your help Maureen On Sun, Dec 30, 2012 at 5:38 PM, Barbara Johnston < bajohnston57@btinternet.com> wrote: > Hi Maureen, > Where is Hannah Baker/Cope in 71.
