My g/mother Amy Bird m James Coutts Coveney b.1863 in Whitechapel in Oct 1893. His fa. named as John Coutts Coveney a stone carver, dec. They lived Royal Mint Square, Whitechapel, and da. Ethel Amy Isobel was born there on 28.10.1893. In 1901 census it shows Amy's husband is Edward William Coveney, b.Colchester c.1866. His son, William, b.1900, was my father. Can anyone help with the Coutts Coveney side, or Ed.Wm Coveney. d. I believe circa 1916 acc. to my father. Barbara

HI Barbara I have just seen your posting of the Coveney family . My maiden name was Coveney & I know that My Great Grandfather was David Sadler Coveney he Lived in Colchester he was born I think about 1864, he had about 8 children my grandfather Albert Edward being the 2nd eldest I wondered if David was Edward's brother ?
