The COPELAND (COUPLAND / COOPLAND)
Family
of C17th/C20th East Riding, Yorkshire
This family has historical roots in
Brandesburton, an East Riding village that relates to both Skirlaugh (Poor
Law Union) & Beverley (County Court District) for BMD records, as well as
nearby Driffield & Hull/Sculcoates RDs. Even where family members have
temporarily moved away, it seems they are inevitably drawn back to the area,
as the family summary below shows. There are about 250 connected COPELANDs in
my full Ancestry.com family tree, so email me for a free invite to view the
detail.
The head of family may be Joseph COPELAND
(c1695) = Elizabeth ELLIS on 9.8.1716 at Saxton in Elmet, Yorkshire,
however it not proven. They would be my 7xGGPs. It is presumed they had a son

on 23.2.1744 at Brandesburton, who are my 6xGGPs.
