By the process of elimination I have come to the conclusion that Susannah Coupe was the daughter of John and Mary Coupe. While she was unmarried she had a daughter Elizabeth Coupe, and a younger sister Betsy Coupe. Betsy Coupe and Elizabeth Martin Coupe were both born in Egmanton, Nottinghamshire a month or two apart. Betsy Coupe was a witness at Elizabeth Martin Coupe’s wedding. Egmanton, Nottinghamshire today is a village of about 250. How many Elizabeth Martin Coupe’s and Betsy Coupes could have been born in the same year in such a small village?

Biological GG Grandfather

It is very probable that this Samuel Martin is the father of Elizabeth Martin Coupe. For the following reasons.
1. In her marriage documents Elizabeth Martin Coupe lists her father as Samuel Martin and his occupation miller. Samuel and his father were millers.
2. This Samuel Martin lived at Scarthing Moor Mill which is less than 3 miles from Egmanton where Susannah Coupe lived. Scarthing Moor Mill is between Weston and Egmanton. (It still seems to be owned by a Martin.)
3. This Samuel Martin is about the right age as his age is close to Susannah’s.
4. In the 1861 census which was taken less than a year after Elizabeth Martin Coupe was born Elizabeth remained in Egmanton, staying at a family next to the minister’s house. The rest of her family including her mother moved to Manchester. Her father’s family remained in Weston, however Samuel Martin moved away, married and had a child about the same age as Elizabeth.
5. Samuel Martin & Elizabeth Coupe were 2nd cousins 1 removed. Richard Johnson and his wife Susanna (nee Meller) were great grandparents to Samuel and 3G grandparents to Elizabeth. This may have been the reason they never married.
6. This deduction now seems confirmed as a descendant of Samuel’s parents shares an appropriate amount of DNA with me matching the deduced relationship.
