Notes:

There was a tailor named William Coppocke who left a will in 1597 in Mollington that might be this William. (C-2250E)

Family/Spouse: Unknown. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

1. John COPPOCK was born before 24 May 1564; was christened on 24 May 1564 in Wilmslow, Cheshire, ENG; and died.

Notes:

It is conjecture on my part that an unknown Coppock had at least 4 sons living in Wilmslow Parish, Cheshire England in the mid 1500's. They are Richard, William, Hugh and Raphe all having children in a similar place in a similar time period. Raphe had his first child a good 6 years after his possible siblings though.

There is a will and inventory for a Richard Coppocke, Husbandman, (meaning farmer) in 1592 in Keckwich which could possibly apply to this unknown Coppock. (C-2250E)

The earliest Coppock will that has been found and translated is for a William Coppock of Wath in 1468. The transcription is Walter Coppock's version, probably from David F Coppock of Blaby as forwarded by Annie Natalelli Waloszek. "In the name of God Amen.
