Subject: COPELAND descendants

Seeking information re any descendants of the following
BENJAMIN COPELAND wife MARY SHENTON
as of the 1901 census they had two children
Herbert b.1899 & Lottie b.1901
the family were then living at 125 Noble St. Leicester.

Benjamin was grandson of William Francis Copeland wife Emma (?) as of 1901 census they were living at Norfolk St Leicester
William died 1915 in the Home Hospital, and it appeared from the home address given that he may have been in the Union Workhouse at Sparkenhoe St. His son Benjamin had a business as Joiner, Builder & Undertaker. at Brougham St
his daughter Emma married John Wm Loweth
Their daughter Winifred married Arthur Woolley.
Their surviving son Dennis Woolley still lives in Leicester, but sadly is not interested in our family history, I would dearly love to trace any other relatives who may be interested and would share our family history with me. My gt grandmother was Mary Hannah Copeland, sister of William Francis.

Mary Hannah married George Nelson Grant (in Derby)
George Nelson died in 1919 in Leicester, but have been unable to trace death of Mary Hannah, George Nelson obviously remarried, the 1891/1901 census show him with a wife Annie, she was still with him in 1919 when he died
Their daughter Mabel (my grandmother) had been sent to Canada in 1889 as a supposed orphan, but her father was then living in Birmingham,1890, do not know what happened to Mary Hannah

Any information would be most appreciated, thank you
