Ann, 27 Willm, 21, Painter Hs John COCKIN, 13, App Hi. This is William born 2nd February 1788 in India. He was a Painter and Ann was his wife and the other Ann one of his children. I thin k he perhaps took over Joseph Badger's business. I am looking through records trying to find his father, Lt. G. Watkinson who is proving impossible to find. I suspect that Joseph Badger is dead at this time after all if he was the uncle of William Then he must have been at least 20 in 1788 and I am looking for him 50 years later. Thank you for your help. regards JUDY ELKINGTON [W.R.Yorkshire, England] www.elkingtonfamily.com [email protected] www.one-name.org/profiles/elkington.html
