Esther Copley
Edit ProfileCareer
As a widow, Esther married in 1827 William Copley (1796–1857), a Baptist minister in Oxford, whose chapel she had joined. They moved later to Saint Helier, Jersey, then to Eythorne, Kent, but they separated in 1843, perhaps due to Copley"s alcoholism, which had already involved her in writing his sermons for him. Esther is buried in the Eythorne Baptist churchyard.
