Hi Debbie:
I have lots of Copps info!!! My ggggrandfather was Edmund Copps married to Mary O'Shanugessy. They ended up in Brudnell, Renfrew Co. Ontario, Canada. They were from Shanagolden, Limrick, Ireland. They had several children, Bridget Copps who married James Coughlin, their daughter was Mary Anne Coughlin who married Thomas O'Grady and they had Jim O'Grady my grandfather.
I believe Patrick was another child of Edmund and Mary. Here is his info on the LDS website:

If these are the same family members they were part of St. Mary's (or in later years Our lady of the Angels) RC parish in Brudnell, Renfrew Co, Ontario. Check out this site:

Here I think is the entry you would be looking for on this site:
Item#3 Page 15 Patrick Copps & Anne Dolan
April 26th 1870 We the undersigned Parish Priest of Brudenell married Patrick Copps, son of Edmond Copps & Mary Shaughessy to Anne Dolan, daughter of Michael Dolan & Martha Davis. Witnesses: Michal Kirwan & Sarah Dolan. No calls. James McCormac, P.P.
There are a lot of births, deaths and marriages in these records. Alot of my ancestors were part of this church. I have been there many times, last time was August 6/07 and took some pictures of different headstones. I have a picture of Edmund and Mary's that I can e-maild you. The Copps I think were one of the first families in this parish and I think alot of Edmund and Mary's kids moved away, because after a certain time frame there just isn't many of them in the records. Bridget who married James Coughlin took over the or one of the farms in the area and her daughter Mary Anne Coughlin who married T. O'Grady aquired the farm and it was passed on to my grandfather and that is where my mother and aunts and uncles were born and raised. Anyhow don't want to bore you, but I have lots of info if this is the same family.
I hope this is the right line of Copps! We could be related! I am happy to share any info I have so contact me anytime.
Sincerely!
