I use these

Looks like it might have been Canal Road by 1864?

Bit later than 1700-1800 but getting there :)

Researching:
Rowland, Hone, in Stratford (West Ham) and Essex

Do you mean that you think Copperfield Road had a different name in the 1700 or 1800's.? If so you would need to check with the local archives for the area to see if they had any old maps.
