This is my unformed as yet, Drinkwater link, (post-1500)
& it's on a section of the Coppock tree that
I haven't yet found the links from, to my
line; if you have anything to add or correct,
please don't hesitate...

There's a series of 4 George Coppocks (the
last had a son born abt 1664 IIRC) who were
living in Dutton and closely allied to
Duttons, with a marraige or two; they witnessed
each others' wills and also one of the Georges
left provisions for some of the Duttons.

two pamphlets are out on NE Cheshire Local History,
mentioning many of these people & describing the life
& times; one is called Piggins, Husslements,
& Desperate Debts, the other is something like
Northeast Cheshire in the Civil War, impact of the
Civil War on a community... these have bits
of trees, etc. (they're inexpensive, but if it's complicated
for you to get them, I can send you scans, tho she does
need to make a living...)

During a recent research trip I picked
up some pedigrees for Brereton which show links
to Leigh, Leichester, Massey, Crewe, Cholmondley,
Bulkeley etc, but they may not be of interest to your specific
branches, tho I know they'll link to Coppocks
somewhere...

I have a Zouche link, but not through them, so I'd
be most interested in seeing how that links up...
there was a lot of discussion of Cholmondley for a
while, & I don't remember if I posted the pedigree
containing it, but if not, I should probably dig out the
guy who was looking for that...

Martinscroft rings a bell but I don't know where;
the others draw a blank.

Looks like we're cousins after all! No wonder we
recognized each other early on!

I thought I read page on a manuscript Digby pedigree
I ordered from the Royal Commission for Historical
Manuscripts.

I found out about my Page being a Gage by
crosschecking with another Digby Pedigree;
this is a line that links in with the Anthony
Brownes, mayors of London, which also confirmed
my misread, as the rest of the pedigree fit...

IF your Pages were Gages, not only might you
find a link to the Brownes of London, but also
this would have the strange coincidence of implying
a more direct link between the Coppocks and Digbys
through Drinkwater, which would be funny, as I found in
Lord Digby's portrait collection, a small painting by a
Coppock nephew, Benjamin West... this seemed
indicative of former closer ties ... otherwise how
would they have come in contact with this relatively
obscure American landscape painter, & persuaded
him to do a portrait of a Digby child?

Still, you mustn't "want" the link to badly; perhaps
you can show me the Manuscript, to see if it's the
same writing? The Gages I have were not in Cheshire tho...

"I soon found a published book The Drinkwaters
of Cheshire Lancashire and the Isle of Man.
In this book it shows a pedigree of my family
from Peter Drinkwater marrying Elizabeth Leigh
in 1870 going back to King David of Scotland and
also William the Conqueror."

So, THAT's why you didn't laugh at my Adam lines...
I would VERY much like to see a line from the
Leighs & Drinkwaters back to King David of Scotland
and also William the Conqueror... of Course you know
that a line from King David can be traced "all the way
back" pretty easily using published historical pedigrees,
& CDs, somewhat shaky & contestable at points
but a great trip through time, & a good place to start!
Does your book show any Coppocks married to Drinkwaters?

I have a Henry Coppock leasing land to Rbt Drinkwater (abt 1619)
who's daughter Dorothy married William Tomlinson of Kenworthy &
Northenden, & who leased Tatton Hall.
Joan Coppock (mentioned in a will of Richard Coppock d 1648) also let land to Drinkwater; Edward Coppock owed him money, and Eds,
John, Henry, & Joan are all together mentioned with Drinkwater in Richard's will...

This is a fairly close relationship, that
usually results in descendants intermarrying, from my experience of the Coppocks...
can you scan it & we swap for the ones I have?
All this time, we could have been helping each other!
Have we discussed this before?

Here's the portion of the Digby pedigree mentioning Gage, first read
as Page:
9.son James Gage of Bentley in the Parish of Framfield Co Sussex, 2nd Son, living 1555. Will dated 20 Dec 1569 Proved 16 October
1573... m Jane, dau & coheir of unknown, Delves of Bentley, widow of John Bellingham of Erringham, Co Sussex, Birr d at Framfield
aforesaid
(next page linked through sibling of James Gage, Sir Anthony Browne's wife, Alice Gage)
1. Sir Anthony Browne (of London?) m Alice, dau of Sir John Gage, K.G.
2. dau Mabel Browne, sis of Visct Montagu, m Gerald Fitzgerald 15th Earl of Kildare.
3. son Gerald Lord Offaley (eldest son died before his father) m Katharine dau of Right Hon Sir Frances Knolles K.G. by sis of Wm
Knolles, Visct Wallingsford
(WAR said somewhere that Knolles line is related to Queen Elizabeth's sister or something?)
4. dau Hon Lettice Fitzgerald (created Baronnesse Offaley) m Sir Robert Digby, Knight (died 24 May, 1616)
5. son Right Rev Essex Digby, REctor of Geshil Bishop of Dromore, m Thomasina, dau of Sir Wm Gilbert of Kilminchy in Queens Co
knight
6. son Right Rev Simon Digby Lord Bishop of Rolphin, m Elizabeth dau of Warner Westenia, Esq.
etc.

Hope this helps,
Annie

Dutton, Birtles, Downes, Mobberley, Domville, Coroun, Honford, Orreby,
Cotton, Hulse, Wrenbury, Crewe, Arderne, Minshull, Fouleshurst,

Wheelock, Sandbach, Brereton, Davenport, Rode, Lathom, Lawton,
Boydell, Eton, Hatton, Banastre, Egerton, Malpas, Lancelyn, Done,
Weever, Norley, Gerard, Acton, Aston, Kingsley, Hellesby, Thornton,

Do they mention any Cop(p)ock(e)/Copoke/Cob(b)ok(e)/Cop(p)ak(e)/Cap(p)ake?

You might be interested to know that the names cited in the subject line
all intermarry & link together rather nicely... but I'm afraid
I'd want so know so much, that the only solution will be to order
the CD of Omerod's, which I'd been meaning to do... it'll be
easier when England goes over to the Euro like France has, & they'll accept checks!

Thanks for the offer; whatever they say about
Mobberley and Wilmslow parishes, & about any
Coppocks, would be a nice start...

As it is well past midnight here in California I better get to bed
before long as a busy day tomorrow. Only had time for one look up.
There is a Coppock pedigree in Ormerod at I:667. It shows the
descendants of John Coppock of Sutton near Frodsham who married
Frances Starkey (d. 1719). It is primarily a pedigree of the Starkey
family, but contains this descent.

Hope this helps,

HS
