I hoping for an answer - maybe from Derek. My grt. grandfather, Richard COCKROFT, died on 24 Aug. 1906 and is buried in Scholemoor Cemetery. In April of this year I wrote to Scholemoor asking for grave information on him and his two wives and family information. Unfortunately the cemetery personnel have not answered by letter. What I need to know is where the grave is and are both wives there and possibly other members of the Cockroft family. They did have a young son, John, who died in May 1878. The first wife was Abigail TETLEY COCKROFT born in Ovenden. She died on 12 Aug. 1892 in their home at 17 Richmond Rd., Bradford. Richard remarried Mrs. Elizabeth HANBY in Sept. 1893. I have no idea when she died. Can anyone assist me? Thank you. Diane in California
Diane, I am also looking for COCKROFT folk. Emma COCKROFT HARRIS was born in Allerton, Yorkshire abt 1843. According to the 1881 census she is living at 245 Girlington Road, Girlington (Bradford). She is then 38 and living with her husband, William HARRIS. She was William's second wife and it may have also been her second marriage. Perhaps her first husband was a SHAW. The 1891 Census lists her as a 'worsted weaver'. Because of other family lore, I would guess she worked at Lister's Mills. She was my g grandmother.
