COOPERT mar. LOCK, Limpsfield, Surrey, England, 1775
I descend from Sarah WHEELER, nee WINTER, b. 1823, one of the many children christened in Surrey, England, to Harriet BRIDGLAND and William WINTER (mar. Dec. 25, 1820, Godstone, Surrey).
Harriet's census entries give her birthplace as Godstone, and her birthdate around 1799. A search of the IGI shows only one entry for Harriet BRIDGLAND born about 1799. It reads: "Harriet BRIDGELAND [sic], chr. 17 Aug. 1800, Horne, Surrey, England. Parents Thomas & Elizabeth BRIDGELAND" (source film # 1042203). Horne is a few miles from Godstone.
The parents are probably "Thomas BRIDGLAND mar. Elizabeth LOCK 25 Apr. 1798, Godstone, Surrey, England" (source film # 0991680).
Elizabeth appears to be the "Elizabeth LOCKE, b. 12 Oct. 1779, chr. 24 Oct. 1779, Limpsfield, Surrey, England. Parents William & Sarah LOCKE" (source film # 0097139).
Elizabeth's parents are probably "William LOCK mar. Sarah COOPERT [sic], 04 Sep. 1775, Limpsfield, Surrey, England" (source film # 0097139 mar. 1540-1876).
Is "COOPERT" another spelling for "CUBITT" or "CUBIT"?
These IGI entries are not yet confirmed.
