Hello Maureen, I can't find that set of marks in my silverplate books. Sounds like a British silverplate mark. If you could manage to post a picture of the marks we might be able to help.

Great job on the pictures.
The first letter looks like a C or E to me. I checked my books, but sorry to say could not match it to a manufacturer.

I believe that's EPNS for electroplated nickel silver. The piece does not seem to have a maker's trademark.
