    James Copeland's entry on the 1861 census was at the bottom of the page previous to the entry for the Turner family. Their entry started at line 13. In other words they only lived a few doors apart. James Copeland and Margaret Turner married in 1865.

    The enumerator spelled the surname COPLAND without the "e" which the family normally included.

    The enumerator was still spelling the surname Copland. Despite the change in the surnames, the family is essentially the same at that listed in 1871. Only Christina, who has married, is missing.
