Coppull is an area about 10km north of Wigan and a few km north of Standish. The Harrison branch of the family hailed from Coppull for the better part of a century. John Harrison (b. 1746) and Alice Brimeley lived in Coppull from about 1774 and most of their children were born there, beginning with Betty in 1775, through Alice in 1789 and including John Harrison born in 1786. Baptismal records for the children of John Harrison (b. 1786) and Jemima Whittle show that they lived in Coppull from the time of their marriage in 1812 until they moved to Adlington sometime between 1824 and 1833. A century later Margaret Harrison (“Aunt Maggie”) and her family lived much of their life at 30 Coppull Moor Lane in Coppull.
