Re: happy hunter
Dear Cathy,
Finding your post was really exciting for me because I am a relative of Margaret Cole and John Copeland. My Mother is Finola Ryan, her mother was Kathleen Copeland, and Kathleens mother and father were Margaret Cole and John Copeland.
If I understand it correctly, your grandmother is Annie Cole who is the sister of Margaret Cole.
Myself, my mother and my sister have started the process of researching our family tree so I don't have a huge amount of information, but I am sure I could fill in some gaps. We knew very little about Margaret Cole, in fact she was one of the big mysteries in my mothers life. John Copeland died young in WW1 (we have quite some information about him) leaving Margaret Cole a widow with two young daugthers Kathleen (dob 16 Jan 1913, dod 25 Feb 1976) and Joan (26 August 1914, still alive and living in Clare). At some stage those two girls were left to be raised by a family friend, a priest I believe (my mother knows more, but the reason they were abandoned or removed from Margaret are unknown) so the story of who Margaret was and were she went after that are still a mystery. It is certainly a step forward that we know where she came from and who her family were.
If you want to send me an email lorrainenl@hotmail.com i can forward you an article we found about John Copeland and there is alot of other bits and pieces I am sure we can swap.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Regards,
Lorraine
