Find Ancestors

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!

Thankyou I think!!!! this gets very confusing the rweason being is when we found Elizabeth living with yhe coppins this is actually my fathers cousins name so are we presuming a little cousin on cousin, i am so confused cheers Sandi ;-)

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
