This one may be impossible, but I'd welcome suggestions for where I might find an answer or two.
I'm trying to work out how to find a maiden name for Elizabeth Copley (married name), abt 1791
Facts:
In 1841 she's married to William Copley and living in Tankersley, Yorkshire. there are 7 children with them, the youngest is Elizabeth abt 1837, and the oldest is Edward abt 1821. From later censuses I think Edward was born in Wortley, Yorkshire.
by 1851 Elizabeth is a widow, her place of birth would appear to be Wicklow, Ireland if you look at the actual image.
in 1861 pob is just given as Ireland.
1841 HO107; Piece 1325; Book: 16; Enumeration District: 6; Folio: 26; Page: 2;
1851 HO107; Piece: 2334; Folio: 464; Page: 2
1861 RG9; Piece: 3456; Folio: 50; Page: 21
I can't see a suitable birth for the daughter Elizabeth on FreeBMD, so have a feeling she was born pre-reg., and I can only see submitted entries on the IGI.
Can anyone suggest where to look next please - or is this one really a lost cause.
Thanks
