Thanks to all of you who answered my question abount the name Minnie. I know Minerva is the proper name, but I was wondering if there were any others. My dilemma is Minnie (born in 1864 in Bradford, the second oldest daughter of my grt. grandfather RICHARD COCKROFT. I received a very black copy of the Yorkshire Daily Observer from the Bradford Library and it looks like the marriage of this 2nd daughter was named Rose. Could someone in Bradford (when you go to the library) look this marriage up for me? It is from the newspaper of 18-9-1906, pg. 8 Marriages. LISTER married COCKCROFT (with another C) It says she is the second daughter of Mr. C COCKCROFT of Richmond Rd. My grt. grandfather's house was at 17 Richmond Rd. but his name was Richard. He did not have a brother named Charles. The mystery deepens. Diane in California
