The Nottingham CD has several children born to a William Copley and an Ann - but the mother's surname is not quoted, so I cannot distinguish if these are really two families or not - I'm assuming they are because of the different profession - people didn't tend to change professions in those days. My g-g-g-grandfather is Joseph (listed below), and I too cannot figure out if his mother is Ann Whittington or not. The only marriage record for a William Copley on the CD is to Ann Whittington in 1811. If you find anything further, I'd love to hear from you.

The children listed in the CD are as follows - I hope this helps you in some way:
