I would be very grateful if anyone could give me any help at all on any of the families listed below. COUSINS (also COZENS) - my first one was a William Cousins who married a Sarah??? in the very late 1700s and they had 9 children in Kings Sutton. JAKEMAN (also JACKMAN) - the first was a Daniel Jakeman (widower) who married Elizabeth Abbotts on 1st July, 1817 at Wroxton St. Mary. My bit of the family moved on to several local villages - Stoke Lyne, Adderbury, North Aston, Deddington, Bloxham, Croughton, etc. (There is a record of a Daniel Jakeman marrying an Elizabeth Hawkins in Banbury on 14th November, 1813 but I can find no further detail of this one). I also have connections with the JACKMANs of Neithrop and later Bloxham; the WATERS of BLOXHAM; the EDEN - later HEYDON of Bodicote and Stoke Lyne. Any help or ideas gratefully received!
