Copperwheat & Thompson- Marston Moretaine

[ella]

I'm researching Copperwheat & Thompson

Harriet Elizabeth Copperwheat b1872 Marston married John Totterdell Smart b 1873 Islington. [my grandparents]

Harriet's parents were Hannah Thompson b1837 Marston married to Robert Copperwheat b 1833 Norfolk.

Hannah's parents were William b??? & Mary b???

I have a resonable number of the Copperwheat family in my tree from both Bedfordshire & Norfolk and wondered if anyone else was going down the same route? Ella.

So sorry Peter for not seeing your reply earlier. Many thanks for all the info you have found. I had found some of it previously but you have added a couple of 'extras' for me and it is much appreciated. Ella.
