There is a connection between Liverpool and London.
Josiah/Josias Coppell b C1734 Liverpool had 2 sons
1 Edward
2Josiah, who married Elizabeth Hodson C1775.
Josiah & Elizabeth had Captain Edward Coppell b C1804 who married Margaret Clow Todd. They moved to London, Stepney. The Capt died in the China Sea and died there. After his death most of the family emigrated to New Zealand.
I am trying to make a connection between James (Toddy) Coppell, my husband's Great Grandfather who was born in Deptford, London and had a timber business on the Thames ( He is from seafaring stock because his coffin was floated down the Thames when he died.) and Capt Coppell etc. I have no date for our James but one of his children was born 1882.
I don't know what period in history you are looking at. If I can make a connection with Liverpool then I'll let you know.
best wishes
