Coppins.........where have you found Elizabeth living with this family?

It seems clear that she left her family and took up with John Brock, never married him and died under her married name Collins

Hi Sandra

I sent you a PM yesterday, explaining how you get back to this thread as I noticed it was your first post on here

You've opened the message but as you have not acknowledge that or the help that has been given on this thread, I presume you are having difficulty getting back here?

I'll get Cynthia to send you instructions, she's better than me at explaining!

Must be the correct family though as everything else matches - even the 'boarder' !!

Perhaps he was 'John Edward' ??

There is this marriage which could fit? :
