Have not tried free Irish 1911 census but will do.
To rootgatherer, this looks like them but May should be Mary if right family

rootgatherer kindly found them on the Irish census for you :-)

May is close enough to Mary, names are interchangeable sometimes.

Many thanks to you all. now I need to try & access Irish birth records.

1911 CENSUS. has Mary endine wife born England, but 1901 Census has her as Mary Eveline born Liverpool, nine children born seven still living on 1911 census.
Also there is another Copeland family with some similiar names in family

Looks like you are all spot-on again. Many thanks again.
Edward & Mary Copeland's children married as follows:-
Susan Copeland married a Robinson & lived in Vulcan St
Frances Copeland married a Patrick McVarnock & lived in Raglan St
Florence Copeland married a Anthony or Antonio Fusco & lived in Andersonstown Park. We only new him as uncle Tony

My wife has remembered that her grandmother was a Riley & that she died during child birth. What we don't know is whether the child Elizabeth died at the same time or later. One of the children died of TB & another child died due to severe burns. Which ones we do not know

Hi,
Marraiges for,
Susanna Copeland Belfast Oct-Dec 1913 Volumn 1 Page 588
Hugh Henry Robinson Belfast Oct-Dec 1913 Volumn 1 Page 588
--------------------------------------------------
Frances Copeland Belfast Oct-Dec 1916 Vol. 1 Page 576
Patrick McVarnock Belfast Oct-Dec 1916 Vol. 1 Page 576.
---------------------------------------------------
Unfortunaly as Florence was only 4 years old on 1911 census you will not be able to look up her Marriage on the searchrecords/recordsearch site, as the BMDs are taken from records held in County Roscommon in the Republic of Ireland and only go as far as 1922 for Ulster (6 Counties) when Ireland split into the Republic and 6 Counties of Ulster remained in the United Kingdom..
