Hello List! It's good to be back after a few years off!! Diving into my grandmother's lineage a little further. I'd love to hear from others researching in the area and finding living relatives. Here's the family: Robert Cookson Head, b. 7 Dec 1848(Ambleside), m. Jun qtr 1877, d. 16 Nov 1938 (Barrow) Harriett Upstone (first wife), b. ~1849 Leafield, d. Jun qtr 1887(Westmorland) Children: both born Ambleside Charles Edward U.? Cookson, b Dec qtr 1879, married Annie Stables?? Harriet Louisa Cookson, b Dec qtr 1881 Second wife Sarah Mary Crook, b. 7 May 1858(Lancaster), m. 24 Jan 1894(Ambleside), d. 14 Oct 1935(Barrow). Children: May Cookson, b. Jun qtr 1895 Emma Cookson, b. 29 Dec 1899(Ambleside), m. 24 Sep 1923(Barrow), d. 15 Dec 1983(USA) Priorities: May Cookson - grand aunt - believed married once but didn't last long. Lived most of her life in Yorkshire; was a buyer for a large store in Sheffield? Charles and his wife Ann or Annie - owned or ran a pub in Hawcoat, Charles died in the 1940s. I have nothing on Annie. Harriet Louisa Cookson - possible marriage to Thomas Brunton Dec qtr 1911(posting to this surname list also). Any and all help/discussion/direction would be greatly appreciated! I'll be ordering certificates tomorrow. Cheers! Mike Kendall Albuquerque, NM USA _________________________________________________________________ Hotmail® has ever-growing storage!
