So are there 2 James Cookseys or as you say does Maria Hughes die and he remarries

is there a bapt for Mariah
I will look both marriages for James see if he is a widower

MARIA COOKSEY
Christening: 21 NOV 1830 Saint Thomas, Dudley, Worcester,
Parents:
Father: JAMES COOKSEY
Mother: MARIA
Extracted

so that must be a second marriage as those 2 fit for his first wife
wonder where her burial is?

Something doesnt feel rite here

The William son of James and maria on BCC
is a William son of John and Maria accord to RR Book!( and Maria is mentioned as deceased there)

so is John a misprint ?
should it say James....odd

until proven that father is James I am disconnecting that one from James

And Elizabeth has father William not James...tbc on the marriage info at clent for this one.
Elizabeth Cooksey dau of William and Maria Cooksey bapt St Giles RR in 1825 Gosty HIll Labourer

This one the mother is Mary.

Ok well I have in the RR st Giles bk
a note for a William Cooksey but the father is a John! not a James
http://bcconnections.tribalpages.com/tr ... =265981298

so that needs sorting


James prob marries Phoebe.

and those kids we have on check out where a bapt is on
there must be a James Cooksey and Mary having kids round about the same time

still not sure on this one
http://bcconnections.tribalpages.com/tr ... =332770618
there is an Elizabeth Cooksey dau of William and Maria Cooksey bapt St Giles RR in 1825 Gosty HIll Labourer

will check with di on that one
see where the James as father came from
