Note:
The COWPER families from Wellingborough are very well researched and the
ancestry has been traced back to the 16th Century. They were steeped in the
tradition of boot & shoe making (John COWPER was a Clicker) and are a mix of
prominent people who traveled
widely during the 19th Century (see Cowper
Forum).
Equally
researched are the COPSEY families that were mainly settled at East Anglia.
