Hi John, I am interested in the Willian and Elisabeth (Copestake) Stinchcomb you mentioned as my mother said we had relatives in New Brunswick and they went back to England. As well my grandmother was a daughter of their's and was born in Liverpool, England. They moved to Regina, Sask. Canada when my grandmother was in her teens. If you don't mind sending me more information it would be greatly appreciated.
