Hi--I was always told that my gggrandmother's name was Sophia Drummond. But now I find that on census and marriage documents, they have her name as Sophia Drummer and Drummers. I have also located possible relatives nearby who were named R., Ales, Alex and Alexander Drimmie/Drummie. These census and marriage records were in 1860-1875 Nebraska. What we do know for sure is that she came from England (it's possible that she was born in Hammersmith) to Nebraska in 1869 as a nanny to the Gardner/Binns family. She married Thomas Coppinger in 1876, and had two children that lived: Richard Thomas and Maude Emily. On most of the censuses, she says that she was born in England, as were her mother and father. On the 1920 census, however, it says her father was born in Scotland and spoke Scottish. We do know that Mrs. Binns went to England in 1891, and returned with S. G. Drummond, female domestic, born in Scotland, whose point of destination was New York. S.G. may have been a relative to Sophia, but we can't know for sure. I feel more comfortable with the Drummies/Drummys, since they were located in or near the various Coppinger households in the various censuses. I would like to know whether or not it is possible that Drummond, Drimmie (probably a spelling error, since in several later censuses, it is spelled Drummy/Drummie), Drummy, Drummie, Drummer and Drummers could all be one clan or family. Or should I start looking under different surname message boards? Thanks so much for any help SKS can offer. Nancy
