This is my first attempt at doing research in England. I am looking for my step grandmother Florence Cookson, born December 5, 1900 to Joseph Cookson and Emma Powell. I have found the family living in Uffington in the 1900 census but no other data. Any help tracing her family would be most appreciated. Elizabeth Canada

Hi Elizabeth Does it not say where she was born? That would be of great help. Cherrio Graham

This would certainly seem to be her birth registration, which would tell you where she was born. Births Mar Qtr 1901 COOKSON Florence May Atcham 6a 635 Atcham registration district includes Uffington. Cheers Graham

Just trying to help a little more, if we can. Is this a possibility? Joseph Cookson, baptism 12 FEB 1865 Wroxeter, Shropshire, England. Many of the other Joseph Cooksons on the IGI were of Cheshire and some Lancashire, but there was also the surname COXON, which could fit. An interesting search for the results, no doubt.
