    1. Cobley family of Canon City and Coal Creek
    2. Joyce
    3. Hello List Members I am researching my father's family, the name is Cobley and they lived in Coal Creek and Canon City in the late 1800s and 1900s. My Gt. Grandfather was Thomas Cobley, his wife was Annie Morris, they had seven children. Mary Elizabeth Cobley b. abt 1882 d. 1930 m. Harry McCormick, Thomas W. Cobley b. 1885, d. 1955 m. Cora Rake, Lillian Pearl Cobley Thorpe Shawcroft ?, b. 1888 d.? m. Austin Thorpe, J. Hyrum Shawcroft, ? , Matthew Albert Cobley, b. 1890 d.? OR., Catherine (Cassie) Cobley Cowan, b. 1895 d. 1979, m. William (Boston) Cowan, Charles Cobley, b. 1897 d. 1903, Morris Cobley b. 1899 d. 1901. Thomas Sr., Annie, Charles and Morris are buried in the Greenwood Pioneer Cem. as are Catherine and Boston and Mary E. McCormick. What I am hoping to get help with from the list is Lillian Pearl Thorpe Shawcroft ? buriel place. I don't know the name of her third husband or their marriage date but I know if I could find his name then I could probably find her buriel place. I am sure that they lived in Colorado and I seem to remember visiting them in the early 50s and they lived in Florence at that time. There is no marriage record for them up to the year 1939 so they must have married after that year. I have photos of them taken in the mid 50s when they came to CA. for a visit to my grandparents Thomas and Cora. I do know that my Aunt Lillie had two children by Austin Thorpe, their names were Austin Thorpe and Dorothy Thorpe Scheader Giblert. If there is anyone that can look up this marriage record or knows of the family I would really appreciate the help. I have researched this line of Cobley's back to Wales and the 18th century and would love to share my information with other family members. Thanks in advance, Joyce
