Hello Ken, From my files father George Copping died in 1885 at Ipswich and was buried in Claydon. George was one of the many descendants of John Copping m. 1710 at Coddenham to Elizabeth Bromeley. Laura Kate Copping b. 1878 was likely the lastborn child and she married in 1933 at Washbrook and she died in 1976 making her 98! My files also show husband George Rumsey was born in 1892. >Your assumption that we are descended from George COPPING and Maria >CHURCH is correct and I have an interesting article on George's >death and some information on Maria (more commonly known as Ann), >who went to New York with 3 of her daughters in the early 1900's. >Ann-Marie Copping >([email protected]) Ann-Marie Copping would have been my source. There is also a site online with various COPPING events and lineages which I assume have been submitted by members. > ><http://copping.info/>Our Family <http://copping.info/>Genealogy Pages > > > >copping.info/ Hoping this helps and you are able to reach Ann-Marie.
