    3. Hello Gwynne Nice to hear from you after so long. We crop up like bad pennies. Ages ago you sent me info about Cartway in Bridgnorth. I paid a visit to what I thought was the property that Thomas and Sarah lived in but apparently it had been rebuilt. But I met the owners who were very interested in my family history and even showed me around the place Thanks for the bits from the Parish Registers you did send me some of that info before but you have added a few others bits of information that I did not know. I am in contact with a relative of the Cockin's in Coventry and she told me the story of a tragic accident, but thats all I knew until your email tonight. You Wrote ' From Bridgnorth Municipal Cemetery burial book; Henry COCKIN, age 2 months, son of Thomas and Sarah COCKIN, was buried in Bridgnorth Municipal Cemetery on 23 Nov 1867. Grave No. 3028 Con.' Wonder if the grave is visible. I have walked around there some years ago. You Wrote From my own book 'Bridgnorth - News and Events between 1852 and 1900' > Facts about Bridgnorth people found in the local newspaper. Issue dated 14 > March 1896. > "In Court - Staffordshire Assizes. Bridgnorth woman Mrs Sarah COCKIN, age > 54. Mentions her two dau's Sarah, age 14, who was killed. Edith Mary, age > 17. Living next door was her son William COCKIN and his wife Harriet Ann. > Mother threw a poker at the eldest dau, missed but hit younger dau on head." Wonder if she was buried in Jeffcock Rd cemetry I wonder if the Express and Star would have some information about it. Or where else do I look. In 1901 census she was living with William and his wife in Walsall St Wolverhampton > Sarah's Parents lived on the Cartway in an inn called the Coopers Arms. I have heard of a man called Clive Gwilt that has written about the Inns of Bridgnorth do you know of him. Best wishes, Paul> > _________________________________________________________________ Download Messenger onto your mobile for free http://clk.atdmt.com/UKM/go/174426567/direct/01/
